Late Summer Fruit Salad

Ripe summer fruit is a treat in and of itself. But, towards the end of summer, a bowl of fruit can get boring. Mix some fruits together for a nice, simple fruit salad.

Grapes

Blueberries
Strawberries
Nectarines
Peaches
Blackberries
Melon
Apricots
Plums
Cherries

Wash and slice fruit how you like it. Mix together in a bowl. There is no need for dressings or anything. Keep it simple and enjoy what the summer earth has for us.

Pair your fruits together based on taste, color, shape, and texture. Mix sweet with tart and have a variety of colors.

If you have too much fruit leftover, make a smoothie in the blender with crushed ice. I like to add a banana to thicken. Or, warm the fruit in a sauce pan with a little water and sugar to drizzle over a slice of pound cake, pancakes, or oatmeal.
