Many of us will be hosting or attending parades and picnics to celebrate our nation’s birthday this July 4th. Happy 240th USA! Besides the usual burgers, hotdogs and salads that are part of every picnic, why not have you and your children add a delicious FRUIT SALAD to the menu? There are so many tasty summer fruits available now and what better way to get those good vitamins than with sweet and juicy fruit?
Here are two that I mixed up after a trip to my local farm market.
Strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries.
Strawberries, mango, blackberries, cherries and coconut.
Try what ever combination you like…there is no wrong way to make a fruit salad. And while you’re enjoying some salad, here are some sights that have plenty of holiday games and activities for kids of all ages.
Check out my previous posts for more fruit salad ideas.
