This salad has got a lot of the fruit that I love but it's missing some blueberries. I would have this with granola and coconut yogurt.
There's nothing as refreshing as a fruit salad first thing in the morning for breakfast. And this one has wine in it too so that's even better! 🍋🍏🍑🍷
I love fruit salad and this sounds delicious and refreshing. For a bit of added contrast I would add banana for the creaminess.
