Fresh fruit salad

I love fruit. Any fruit apples,kiwi,strawberries,blueberries.raspberry,blackberries,grapes, melons,etc. The best kind of fruit is fresh and juicy that is why I love this. All the fruit is as fresh as it could be because its not baked and its so juicy and OMG it rocks. Every Thursday a truck comes to my house and gives us fresh fruit from a farm like five minutes away, and once we got so much I just had to make a fruit salad. All the flavors are fresh and juicy and the work amazing together because they are all fruit. This takes 10-15 minutes max so if you are in the mood for fruit you can make this fast. This is perfect at a party because your guest can get whatever fruits they want and each one is fresh. It is also  a perfect picnic dish because its easy to transport. If it is a hot summer day just one bite of this will like brighten up your day and you get all those fresh flavors in one bite OMG it is amazing.This is a perfect breakfast,brunch,dinner,or dessert side and it rocks. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
