PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD
The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

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!
