This month: Fruit Salad Recipes

Fruit Salad Recipes: In this issue of the Breakfast and Brunch Express, find a selection of easy summer fruit salad recipes for breakfast, brunch, or summer picnics.

Hello!

With the summer months right around the corner, lighter fruits can be a welcome change from many of the heavy breakfast and brunch foods we are accustomed to eating. A fresh fruit salad is light and refreshing and just enough to give you the energy you need without slowing you down. 

With so many summer fruits at their peak of sweetness, this is a great time to add sweet fresh pineapple, ripe strawberries, or plump blueberries to your breakfast table. Fruit salads are easy to prepare and taste great on a hot summer morning.

The fruit salad recipes below are some of my favorites that I like to make this time of year, but can be made year round as well. Besides making a colorful side dish for a brunch menu, fruit salads travel well for a picnic when you need a dish to pass. They also make a colorful and simple food that can be served for a graduation party or summer wedding shower.

You can also view more fruit salad recipes on my website.

Happy Eating!

A Helpful Cooking Hint:

If you need to cut chilled butter into a dry mix for a crumble or pie crust, freeze the butter, then use your cheese grater to "grate" the butter in (keep the paper around the stick of butter to keep it from softening in your hand). You get little shreds of butter that are then really easy to mix in or cut further if you need smaller pieces.

Quote for the Day:

We may live without friends. We may live without books. But Civilized man cannot live without cooks.
