Oh So Easy Fruit Salad With A Crunch Recipes

OH-SO-EASY FRUIT SALAD WITH A CRUNCH

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, add fruit in order given.
• Sprinkle lemon zest over fruit; stir all.
• Drizzle syrup over everything, stir again.
• Serve!
• How easy was THAT?.
• VARIATIONS: Figure one fruit per serving (5 fruits = five servings), so try some others--mango or peach chunks, pitted sweet cherries, hulled strawberries, grapes, ripe raspberries or blueberries---do NOT add too many different fruits or the flavors sort of turn to an indefinable "mush"---double up instead.
• SUBSTITUTIONS: Honey=syrup; orange zest=lemon.
• IDEA: try it warmed up in the microwave OR serve warm over puff pancakes or waffles.
