SPICY SUMMER FRUIT SALAD
I received this recipe in an email from Driscoll's. "Jalapeno and cool mint turn berries and stone fruit into a tangy-sweet summer fruit salad. The variety of fruits make an attractive visual mosaic too. Let the salad stand for about 30 minutes before serving to mellow and blend the flavors." Sounds wonderful for the summer!
