Nothing says summer like the cool freshness of a summer fruit salad. Fruits are full of nutrients and water to hydrate the body.
This isn’t your typical fruit salad. Not only does it include some surprise fruit combinations, but it includes the kick of jalapeno. Enjoy it for breakfast or at your next summer gathering.
Always go for organic, when possible.
