The 4th of July is almost here! If you are still needing an idea for a side dish or a salad, I highly recommend this Red, White and Blue Fruit Salad. The colors are perfect and the honey-lime dressing adds that extra yumminess that makes this patriotic salad so perfectly fitting for summer-time.
I love my new star-shaped cookie cutters. They were perfect to help add a little more patriotism to this already very patriotic salad. The variety of sizes that comes in this set is so fun and they cut so nicely. I highly recommend them if you're looking to add some fun shapes to your meals or treats.
Mint is pretty potent, so if you're going to have any leftovers you may want to take the mint leaves out, unless you really like that extra minty taste. But you gotta love that green!
