The Favorite Fruit Salad isn’t like other fruit salads; in fact, it completely changes the rules on what a fruit salad can be and how it can bring a refreshing taste to your tastebuds. On a crisp bed of lettuce, the Favorite Fruit Salad piles on the sunny oranges, tropical pineapples, and summery strawberries. Then everything is dressed in a dressing loaded with sweet, juicy flavors with plenty of tanginess and even a hint of sourness to make the sweetness all the more enticing. You’ll never look at your salad bowl and what it can offer you and your party guests the same way again!
