Here is lovely salad that is fresh and vibrant with colorful fruit and veggies. I love to add a few fruits to my salad, it adds sweetness and an unexpected surprise.
You can really use any combination of produce, just make the salad dressing. It’s slightly sweet from the strawberries, creamy, vinegary and delicious. Take it to your next summer bbq or pool party and l get ready for complements.
A couple of rules I like to work with;
- Make sure you have a few fruits to give some sweetness and flavor.
- Go for rainbow color, this not only provides you with lots of varied nutrients, but also makes it look beautiful.
- Use any combination of fruit and veggies for maximum flavors and textures.
- This recipe is a basic guide. Use any number and however much you like
Here’s what you will need
