Menu of the Month
Berry season
is upon us! Fresh, in-season berries are one of the very best summer foods.
Celebrate the season by mixing up Summertime Fruit Salad. Use a
combination of fruits that appeal to you from the recipe suggestions or any that
you like, keeping the amount of fruit to about six cups total.
Summertime Fruit Salad is so versatile you can serve it for breakfast,
lunch, dinner or a snack. It would be especially enjoyable as a light dessert
after a hearty dinner of barbecued ribs, potato salad and corn on the cob.
