My family loves salads with colorful fresh fruit all summer long! I find a salad with fresh fruit calls for a sweeter dressing, one in stark contrast to my go to “Balsamic Vinaigrette” with the red onion and parsley. It is so simple to make and requires no slicing or dicing! A big plus when you are pressed for time. I love to marry the sweet flavors of this vinaigrette with the tangy yet salty flavors of the Cilantro lime marinade (use on shrimp or chicken:  please check out https://mysavorykitchen.com/cilantro-lime-grilled-shrimp/).     

I typically make this salad with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.  Choose any berry you like, or when peaches are at their peak I choose them instead. I always look forward to peach season!  Yum!  I also add dried cherries or cranberries and pecans.  Enjoy!
