Fruit Salad

Making Sunday brunch is one of our favorite things to do, and it’s even better when we’re surrounded by our favorite people. This past Sunday was a combination of food, friends, and fun with a menu of homemade strawberry waffles, bacon and eggs, and our favorite winter fruit salad. The fruit salad came out so delicious that The Greatest Kid On The Planet said I should put it on the blog. So here it is!

Down here in the South, summer melons and berries hang around longer than they do in most places, but by October, we’re ready for something different. This Winter Fruit Salad is made with some of the best flavors that Fall and Winter have to offer. You’ll find this recipe featured on Sara Welch’s food blog, Dinner At The Zoo. Topped with a simple Honey Citrus Dressing and some fresh mint leaves, this salad is just the right combination of tangy and sweet.

It’s August, and we’re making the most of our last full month of summer. The Greatest Kid On The Planet has gone back to school, and the house is quiet again, but our kitchen is still in full-on summer mode. We can’t get enough of the fresh fruits and vegetables we find at the market during this time of year, and this simple Watermelon And Cucumber Salad has become one of our favorites.

We love watermelon, and summer is the best time to find this delicious fruit at its sweetest and best. Not a summer day goes by that our refrigerator isn’t loaded with it. I like the seedless melons we find here in the South, and when paired together with some garden grown cucumbers and freshly crumbled feta, it creates a dish that is simply delicious.

There are so many reasons to love summer; fun with friends and family, being out of school, the beach, and the food! Around here, we love fresh fruit and vegetables, and summer is the perfect time for both. This Summer Stone Fruit Salad from Gaby Dalkin of What’s Gaby Cooking is amazing! You won’t be disappointed!
