FRESH FRUIT WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
Any fruit can be used, but this is my favorite combination. Try your own creation, but if you wish to use oranges and grapes in the same recipes, DON'T add the oranges until ready to serve or the grapes will be extremely bitter.

FRESH FRUIT SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
We have a little cafe in our town that serves fruit with poppy seed dressing and it is wonderful. When I stumbled onto this recipe, I had to grabe it and share with my Zaar world.

- Garnish the fruit salad with fresh herbs or edible flowers. This will add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
