This Rainbow Fruit Salad is sure to please even the pickiest eaters. It has six different kinds of fruit, a citrus dressing, and chopped mint that takes it over the top.
It holds up for a few days, depending on the fruit you use, so you can make it ahead of time for an outdoor gathering.
Another great way to serve fruit in summer is with a Vegan Fruit Dip Recipe.
If you prefer chocolate, I have a Chocolate Fruit Dip with Peanut Butter. Since it's two dips in one in the form of a swirl dip, you could make just the chocolate dip or just the peanut butter dip.
A refreshing drink to try is my Kombucha with Cantaloupe. A melon cocktail recipe to try is my Honeydew Daiquiri recipe.
