Take a trip to the Farmer's Market with your kids and choose fruits to make a fresh fruit salad! Serve your fruit salad as a snack or with a meal. This salad is best when eaten as soon as it is ready. Each serving is 1/2 cup. I found this recipe in a Cornell Cooperative Extention leaflet. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
