Super Fruit Salad

No matter the season, fresh fruit is always on my shopping list. On this particular day, I had decided to make a vegan salad with different types of fruit. I was not exactly sure which types of fruit I was going to include (except strawberries), so I wandered around the store looking for ideas. As my daughter and I were walking through Whole Foods, I grabbed a bottle of lime juice because I was going to make my own dressing for the vegan salad recipe...but then I stopped at one of the sample tables. After I had sampled the blackberry vinaigrette and salad toppers by Aunt Dottie, I knew exactly what I was going to include in my salad: kale, blueberries, mango, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, blackberry vinaigrette dressing, and the coconut salad toppers (my daughter really liked the sample).

I put my lime juice back, and decided to use the dressing I had sampled instead, and it was the perfect compliment to the vegan fruit salad. I call this a SUPER fruit salad because the combination of ingredients are indeed superfoods that do the following: fight cancer, improve heart health, lower blood pressure, aid in weight loss, regulate diabetes, improve eye and skin health, improve digestion, and much, much, more!

​Wholesome, Fruity, Sweet, Tangy, Nutty, Light, and only eight ingredients!
