Perfect Summer Fruit Salad
This fruit salad is perfect for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my
favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the citrusy sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer
you
can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it.
