With the abundance and variety of fresh fruits available this time of year, there’s no need to cook to have a nutritious and satisfying side dish for lunch or dinner. Make a FRUIT SALAD. It’s a perfect dish to bring to a picnic or pot luck meal. There are so many ways you can combine fruits to make a delicious treat.
Here are TWO I’ve had recently. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Add some cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract. Sprinkle on some slivered or sliced almonds, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds. As long as the fruit is fresh, it ALL TASTES GREAT! Added Bonus: The variety of bright colors provides a large helping of essential vitamins, and has HUGE antioxidant benefits.
