Fresh Fruit Salad
Ingredients

• 1/2 pound strawberries
• 1 bunch red seedless grapes
• 2 kiwi fruit
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or orange juice
• 1 banana

Preparation
The ideal combination of fruit for a salad is dictated by the season.  Select the freshest fruit available in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and textures for an interesting mix.  Bananas are a great addition, slice them just before serving so they hold their color and texture.  The fruit suggested in this recipe can be cut with a small knife if young people are helping.

Wash the strawberries and trim off the green hull.  Depending on their size, slice the berries in halves or quarters and place the pieces in a bowl.  Wash and dry the grapes, leave them whole, and add to the strawberries.

Trim off the ends of the kiwis and peel off the brown skin with a vegetable peeler.  Slice the fruit into quarters like a lemon or into wheels like an orange slice and add to the mix.

Sprinkle the brown sugar and vanilla over the fruit to add extra sweetness and flavor.  Peel, slice, and add the banana to the salad, mix well, and serve right away.

Makes 4 servings.  Preparation time:  15 minutes.
