Saturday's Food Tip: Make a Fancy Fruit Salad

It’s Saturday. Time to head out to the farmer’s market for peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, and other fruit for a luscious fruit salad. It doesn’t take much to create a fruit salad – just pieces of fresh fruit mixed together. But go one easy-step further and create a fancy fruit salad with a dressing made from a few everyday ingredients.



I like to mix fruit juice (pineapple, orange, or mango) with a little vegetable oil, a teaspoon or so of sugar or honey, and a dash of freshly grated nutmeg, then drizzle this mixture over fruit salads. I also enjoy yogurt over fresh fruit.

Here are other simple recipes that will turn pieces of fresh fruit into a fancy fruit salad your whole family will love.
