When Spring and Summer hit we are in Heaven around here because it is "Fruit Season"!
Both MGG and I are big fruit lovers and can't wait until the abundance of fruit produces each year. We spend countless weekends scouring Farmer's Market for varieties of fruit that are new to us, while also loading up on the basic, berries, oranges, pears, peaches, cherries, grapes, and nectarines.
Today is all about the basics. They are your standard fruits. They can be used in smoothies like this Tropical Sunset Smoothie and my Vanilla Kiwi Smoothie or baked into muffins like Lemon Blueberry Muffins and Strawberry Sour Cream Muffins. Salads get punched up with fruits such as this California Salad. Since we eat fruit so much it was no surprise that I have a Simple Fruit Salad that we serve with meals as well.
Simple is in the title because this is a cut and throw in a bowl type of salad. Nothing fancy, just a lot of good fruits cut into bite sized pieces and placed in a pretty bowl. No special sauce, no drizzle, or glaze....just good delicious fruit!
Perfect for picnics, potlucks, holidays, and everyday meals or snacks. Have fun with fruit this year, it good for you!
Enjoy!
