 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!
