Great summer fruit salad that's very refreshing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh fruit salad is a great dish to serve at any summer BBQ. This recipe enhances the flavor of the fresh fruit with a can of lemonade concentrate. Marinating in lemonade brightens the fruit and makes it pop with a sweet, tart flavor. A yummy side dish or dessert that screams summer.
