Fruit Salad Recipe

A favorite at picnics and cookouts, this fresh fruit salad recipe is a classic side dish to the tangy, salty main entrees. Really no matter what fruits you use, it is sweet, refreshing, and a nice fruity bite in the backyard.

Fresh summer fruits go perfectly with the Fruit Cream Dressing, making a luscious dessert that's easier on the waistline than traditional fat-loaded cakes or pies. However, if you want to ax the extra sugar, a touch of lemon juice will help break down the fruit sugars for a sweeter bite!
