Passed Down From One Generation To The Next

June 19, 2010

I’m a girl who loves to try all kinds of food. I live by the philosophy that you have to try something at least once before you can say you don’t like it! But no matter how fancy or fofo or exotic the food is I still love the simple (and yes sometimes semi-homemade) food that I grew up eating. Comfort Food. Simple delicious food that you come to expect as part of certain family get togethers or when you are sick or just want some good ole’ love and comfort that you can eat! : )

This fruit salad is one of those food for me. And I am sure that each one of you has this recipe or a version of this recipe that you too make for family get togethers or potluck lunches. It is simple and easy. My family has been eating this fruit salad for generations; passed down from my great-grandmother to my grandmother, to my mom and now on to me. This is the perfect salad for any meal anytime. We have eaten it at Thanksgiving, Easter, summer BBQs, breakfasts and brunch. And if there are ever any leftovers I will eat this salad as a snack.

Like I said this is the version of the salad that I grew up eating and still enjoy today.

    My mother use to make this salad for cook outs. She would use maraschino cherries instead of strawberries though. So yummy. Thanks for reminding me of it!
