Winter Cottage Fruit Salad Recipes

EASY WINTER FRESH FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Place the fruit in a serving bowl. (If using pears, because they sometimes darken faster than apples, I like to toss them with a light squeeze of lemon juice before adding to the salad.)
• Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the fruit and toss to combine.
• The fruit salad can be made a couple hours ahead of time - keep in mind that depending on what type of fruit is used, the colors may seep into each other as the salad sits.
