Simple Fruit Salad

This fruit salad is simple to make, and deliciously refreshing. Using whatever fruit is seasonally available or on sale, it renders an endless combination of flavors.

When I was engaged, I made a connection with some older women who chose a small group of younger women to mentor and teach.  We would meet regularly in their homes for meals, Bible study, and encouragement.  This was one of the recipes they shared with us, and I’ve used it ever since.

It’s simple, flexible, and tasty.  Plus, it keeps well for several days. 

The recipe doesn’t call for any specific types of fruit, so have fun experimenting with different combinations, or just use whatever fruit is on sale, on hand, or in season.  

Below I have included a list of some of my favorite fruits to use in my simple fruit salad.

Apples
Grapes
Blueberries
Mandarin Oranges (canned or fresh)
Peaches (canned or fresh)
Blackberries
Strawberries
Raspberries
Nectarines
Pineapple

​Honesty, I don’t even measure the ingredients for this salad. I just throw together what I have.
