Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

The key to this Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe is in the dressing. Fruits of your choice, or the ones that look best at the grocery, can be used. I especially like a few bananas in mine.

Romaine lettuce makes a prettier presentation but iceberg will work also.

Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

Romaine or Iceberg lettuce

Line a large salad bowl with lettuce leaves. Fill the salad bowl with the mixed fruit. Accompany with Poppy Seed Dressing.
