One of the best parts of summer is all the luscious fresh fruit and vegetables
Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream
Today’s Tropical Summer Fruit Spears are more of an idea than a recipe
These mini fruit skewers are not only party pretty,
they are perfect to have in your fridge for a quick, healthy,
a great grab and go snack
If fruit is already cut up, you’re much more likely to reach for it
Keep a plate of skewers ready in the fridge
I made these for my hungry boys
So refreshing on hot summer days, and more nutritious than a popsicle
Now if you want to get a little fancier
Give them a drizzle of a fruit vinaigrette or poppy seed dressing
Top with chopped macadamia nuts or coconut
Wonderful for a ladies luncheon, tea, shower or outdoor gathering
Treat yourself!
