Summer Fruit Salad {with Orange Essential Oil}

June 4, 2014

Today I’m excited to share with you yet another use for Young Living Essential Oils….. recipes! This post is just one of thirty-five yummy summer recipes in the Essentially Summer Recipe Series. A special welcome to those of you stopping by from The Home Life and Me. I’ll bet you enjoyed Lisa’s Caprese Salad with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette Dressing. Yum! If you’re looking for a fruit salad to go with that, you’re in the right place.

This Summer Fruit Salad uses an orange-infused honey that makes the old tried-and-true fruit salad shine.

If you’re like me and tend to wait until the last minute to pick up ingredients for covered dish picnic dishes, this recipe is a fabulous shortcut. The fruit doesn’t have to be sweet and fully-ripe! In fact, we used two crispy, sour kiwi! Once we added the honey glaze, the kiwi tasted perfectly ripe and sweet. So maybe this is the perfect covered dish for my fellow procrastinators. 😉
