festive fruit salad

festive fruit salad

i’m calling it a festive fruit salad because 1. i used red and green colors to make it festive, 2. it would be perfect for xmas morning and it actually tastes even better if you let it marinate for a day and 3. because arlo ate it the other day and said “it tasted like christmas” –totally unprompted!!

Ingredients

  • apples
  • pear
  • grapes
  • strawberries
  • blueberries
  • and/or any fruits of your choice!
  • fresh mint leaves
  • dates

Instructions

  1. chop up your fruit to your liking. for some additional red color i only half peeled my pink lady apple. i also like to chop grapes in half and i prefer little petite pieces of strawberry in my bites!
  2. mince up your dates and chop a few mint leaves and add to salad. if you want to make in advance, refrigerate for a day and all the minty datey fruityness gets even better!

Notes

i am not in the fruit salad dressing camp, but if you want to add some lemon or lime juice or honey i think they would all work fine!
