I usually love the chill weather, seeing the leaves change colors and fruits showing up with its wonderful aroma in the air and all the wonderful things we can do when the weather cools. The fruit salad is perfect season gift as its light, requires no cooking, absolutely delicious and so addicting. You can use whichever fruit your heart desires! No dependency on any season. I love to make this particular one, again and again, because they are easy to make, and not too sweet.

Fruit salad bowls are generally healthy, but it totally depends on what you prefer to add to them. The main content is to watch your portion sizes of course and above all sugar!
