FRESH FRUIT SALAD

We grow our own strawberries, so our table usually features an abundance of this fruit. We gather other favorite fruits at the store and blend them with our berries for a refreshing, colorful breakfast salad. I serve the dressing on the side, so people can take as much as they want. -Jane Zielinski, Rotterdam Junction, New York
