When our kids were young, every Sunday was a traditional feast at Grandma Alley’s. She would spend hours in the kitchen whipping up a smorgasbord of sensational options from her homemade pizza, to her homemade chocolate shakes…made to order. Not to mention all the sides, she was famous for her Snicker Salad (Snickers Bars, Apples, Whipped Cream, Sour Cream and a touch of Mayo…don’t knock it, it’s crazy good), as well as her mouth watering Fruit Salad. Who ever couldn’t fit around the table would use the wooden TV trays that grandpa made, and find their place in close proximity. The kitchen table was small but the love was big. She has been gone for decades, but the memories burn bright. Isn’t it interesting how food connects generations. Recently, one of our sons asked me to replicate her Fruit Salad, and I think I have a share worthy version you will appreciate, and hopefully try out on your loved ones. Enjoy, …we sure did. ;)
Ingredients~ (No amounts were ever measured)
Fresh diced Peaches, tossed with Lime Juice and as much Sugar as desired, this may be why everyone loves her Peaches. (Since I don’t eat Sugar, I sprinkled mine with Lakanto Monk Fruit, or just go without)
Fresh diced Apples, tossed with Lime Juice to preserve color
Diced Banana (this add a certain flair that made the Salad special)
Red Grapes
Diced Strawberries
Fresh Blueberries
Add to bowl, toss to fully incorporate! Store leftovers in fridge…if there are any. Enjoy. :)
