Fresh Fruit Salad is my very favorite fresh fruit salad. This fruit salad is so very refreshing and also low in calories. When making this Fresh Fruit Salad, I use whatever fresh fruit is in season. The easy-to-make banana dressing is very light and compliments the fruits. You will never want to make a “yucky” canned fruit salad again!
My mother-in-law, Gertrude Zemp, taught me to make this delightful Fresh Fruit Salad when I was a young bride – that was a few years ago!
