From a  Potato salad, we are moving on to a cooling, tangy, fruity combo. It took me 15-20 minutes to mix up this Summer salad with just five main ingredients.

All the colors of the summer come together in a bowl. It’s a refreshing addition to any meal. I know the kids will love picking out there favorite fruits and veges off the salad, there’s something for everyone. 

My kids were actually having this salad in stages, the last bits were finished by my 16 year old 10:00 that night.

I asked him how it was, he just looked at me kept on munching the Cucumbers then begin slurping on the left over dressing and that is a big yes from a teen who is very vocal about what he loves and doesn’t when it comes to food in general.

  • Notes- Try to make the salad closer to the time of serving and drizzle the dressing minutes before serving
  • If the salad needs to be transported for a picnic, keep an ice pack to preserve the freshness of the Salad.
  • The use of Sugar is total up to you, I didn’t need to use it as the Pineapple was sweet enough but if you want a slightly sweeter note on the salad, a dash of Sugar should do it.
