Patriotic Summer Fruit Salad

A pretty and patriotic summer fruit salad is the perfect easy summer side dish for all of your summer parties. Make it for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, or just because! (gluten-free, vegan, nut-free)

Admittedly, this patriotic summer fruit salad is not really a recipe.

It involves putting some fruit in a bowl and doesn’t actually require any measuring. Which is exactly how I like my recipes, to be quite honest. I realize some things, like baking, require precise recipes, and they are great for therapeutic kitchen sessions on Sundays. But in the lazy days of summer when you’re invited to potlucks and pool parties and all kinds of celebrations, you need a quick and easy side dish that doesn’t take a whole lot of effort.

If easy and delicious is what you’re searching for, this patriotic summer fruit salad is it. You’ve got fresh summer fruit, which is delicious all on its own, and patriotic red, white and blue. It can be made ahead of time or thrown together at the last minute. And everyone loves a pretty fruit salad. What could be better?

I chose to use cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in this gorgeous fruit salad – the most perfect seasonal fruit that’s sweet, juicy and less expensive this time of year. Feel free to add in other red, white or blue fruits if you’d like. 

This delicious patriotic summer fruit salad is all you need for easy, breezy and healthy summer entertainment!
