Nothing says summer like fresh summer fruit. This salad reaps all the delicious flavors of summer and keeps you coming back for more. It works well with any summer fruit. I love to use stone fruits like nectarines or peaches but I also love using fresh strawberries and pairing it for brunch with a quiche. Whatever fruit you add, you can’t go wrong with this salad.
