KEY WEST FRUIT SALAD

Any fresh fruit that you prefer will work wonderfully. I like to use pineapple, strawberries, kiwi and grapes or what ever is in season. The 30 minute prep time is time spent cutting up the fruit. You can speed this up by buying assorted pre-cut fruit from the produce department. This recipes is from General Mills.
