Yummy fresh fruit, warm lavender flavors and sweet agave nectar sauce with crisp mint leaves to put that edge on the whole salad really come together to make a really wonderful salad! And although I made the salad with agave necter, you can actually use honey if you would like and if you can not find lavender - no worries! Just substitute 1/4 cup coarsley shopped fresh mint.

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

Perfect Summer Fruit Salad image

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.

YUMMY FRUIT SALAD

Yummy Fruit Salad image

Looking for a refreshing fruit salad? My mom had this at a party - she described what she thought was in it and we both have tried our own. This is my version. My mom used -Instant Vanilla Pudding - mine had a different taste using the French Vanilla (maybe sweeter) - but they were both very good! My serving size may be off - it's hard to calculate. It makes a nice bowl of fruit salad. I made this for 8 of us and I had some leftover. It was very good tho - it kept for several days and the fruit never changed colors.
