What is fruit salad?

Traditionally speaking fruit salad is made with cut up pieces of fruits in a sugary syrup. Over the years we have moved away from the fruit cocktail kind of glaze and I think the results are fabulous.

Since fruit has a lot of natural sugar you don’t have to add too much in order to have a delicious and satisfying end result.

Fruit salad can be served as a dessert, a side salad, or even an appetizer. It’s a very versatile food and these amazing recipes will have you adding it to your weekly meal plans in a variety of ways.

Some of these fruit salad recipes would be great for breakfast too!

If you usually have a busy start to the day you can likely pick one of these recipes to try for breakfast…maybe not the one made with snickers…or maybe so, who doesn’t want to eat candy for breakfast 😉
