It’s Labor Day weekend and I desperately want to hold on to summer (and its fruits)! So, here’s a quick fruit salad using all of what summer fruit has to offer to bring to your goodbye to summer bbq’s this weekend!
Oh, and don’t skip out on making the vinaigrette – that’s what really makes this stand out!
