Big Fruit Salad

Recipe #97363 | 30 min | 30 min prep | add private note

After an OVERLY hearty, boring, rich, oily meat and potatoes kind of meal I really truly feel that everyone only wants one thing; something that's not overly hearty, boring, rich, and oily! That is why I made this dessert salad that is also a great snack, bunch, and even a full lunch sometimes.

    Wonderful flavor combination. I substituted fresh pineapple for the mango and omitted the kiwi. I also cut back on the sugar just a bit. This was one of my contributions to the salad bar at a volunteer event at the local community center. Everyone loved this bright burst of summer.

    Wow! This is a huge delicious fruit salad. Although I cut the recipe down a bit by skipping the cantalope, using only 4 kiwies and 3 limes (but used the remaining ingredients as listed) we loved this simple-to-make fruit salad, which is a bit different from the usual fruit salads we make. Although we had it with supper, this will also be perfect for breakfast with some cottage cheese and/or for lunch. Thanks for sharing - we will be having this often this summer!
