Hello everyone!  I’m Amy and the founder of My Name Is Snickerdoodle.   I absolutely adore Rebecca and am always inspired by her photography and projects!  That’s why I’m super excited to be sharing one of my recipes here on Simple As That!

Summer is perfect to spend more with your family hanging out by the pool, having late movie nights with your kids and inviting your friends to come over for a barbeque!  It’s also the season that I try to stay out of kitchen as much as possible otherwise I’m tempted to turn the oven on for something!

It just gets too hot here and I’d rather not sweat outside AND inside!  I love to cool off with a great summer salad that takes little to no prep time and this Summer Fruit Salad is just that.  You just need to cut a few fruits and toss it with my secret dressing!

Okay, I’m not sure you can actually call it a dressing when it’s basically just freshly squeezed orange juice and lime zest.  But, WOW!   Those two combined bring the fruit to a whole new level in the flavor department.  Everyone I’ve served it to truly loves it and can’t ever figure out why it’s extra delicious until I tell them what the secret is!

I really like to serve this salad along side my Easy French Dip Sandwiches and then maybe top it off with a slice of Cinnamon Sour Cream Cake!  Whatever you serve it with, it’s sure to be completely fresh and satisfying!
