christina’s mom’s fruit salad
When my hair stylist of many years mentioned what she had brought to a family 4th of July picnic, I knew I had to try it. It sounded like something a family member of mine used to bring to family reunions in the 1970s and 1980s, back when I was too shy to ask for recipes. Hard to believe, right? So make a batch of this for your next family gathering. Someone might be wishing to have it again. It tastes like the 70s!
