This is the perfect salad for the 4th of July or really any summer barbecue or meal. My girls recently made this fruit salad with some of the fruit we had on hand and when I saw it I knew it would be perfect for my red, white, and blue week.
This fruit salad is not only festive and fun, it is healthy and perfect for summertime gatherings.
And this is so easy your kids can make it or at least help with it.

When we have fruit that isn’t quite sweet enough, we use powdered sugar to sweeten it. It dissolves quicker than regular sugar and it makes a little syrup at the same time.

I’ve never thought to use powdered sugar. Thank you, I’ll have to try that!!
