Fruity Rainbow Salad


In a medium or large bowl, put your rainbow colored fruits: about 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries, about 1 cup of orange segments (or a can of mandarin oranges, drained if fresh is not available), about 2 cups of sliced nectarines or peaches, about 2 cups of seedless green grapes, about 1 cup of blueberries, and about 1 cup of pineapple chunks (or an 8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained reserving 1/4 cup of the juice, if fresh is not available).

In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup either orange or apple juice OR the reserved pineapple juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Pour it over the fruit, mix it all up gently, and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

It's SO good. I love this time of year...fresh fruit is refreshing, healthy, and yummy!
