Fruit Salad is so flavorful and refreshing!
Fruit Salad – The pineapple and apples are tart but sweet, the grapes and bananas have a nice mellow flavor, the coconut offers a little texture, and the warmed honey with just a dash of cinnamon make this salad the perfect healthy side salad that will round out any meal, or make a great snack.
I especially like making salads such as this one when I am planning on grilling. I love having dishes to go with grilled meats that I can make ahead of time and then I get to spend the time outdoors with my husband, Lee, when he is grilling the meat that I prepare for him.
This salad goes especially well with my Lemon Pepper Chicken or my Honey Lime Chicken.
This particular fruit salad recipe is also good because these fruits are available anytime of the year, so you could make this even in the winter.

Fruit salads are always a favorite and healthier than so many other snacks. I do wish the bananas would last longer than they do when I use them.
Me too! That is a bummer. Thanks for stopping by!
