Summer, with its sweltering heat, is definitely a time for crisp, cool salads. I love salads with fruit in them. In the fall, I’ll use dried fruit like cranberries, apricots, and raisins. But in the summer, nothing other than fresh fruit will do. I’ve just got to have tart blackberries, sweet watermelon, zesty orange slices, and juicy strawberries!
You may notice this recipe doesn’t have any quantities. That’s because I think salads should be left up to the individual. Just throw in however much YOU want and any salad will be a perfect and refreshing summer meal!
