This is very refreshing and delicious fruit salad. I use whatever fresh fruit is in season when making this salad.
The 1-2-3 Fruit Dressing is from an older Betty Crocker Cookbook. The combination of citrus
fruits in the dressing gives the salad a wonderful delicious flavor! Sometimes the older recipes are the best recipes!

Winter Salad - In this version of fresh fruit salad, I used whatever fruits were in season in the
winter months. |
Summer Salad - In this version of
fresh fruit salad, I used a lot of fresh summer berries. The berries
and cherries put a natural dye on the rest of the fruits. |
