Fruit Salad With Lime Pepper Dressing

Ripe Juicy summer fruits turned into fruit salad with lime pepper dressing! You won’t be able to stop eating this!

Hello From Los Angeles friends. Today is our last day here and we are going to drive to San Fransisco via the so called famous scenic route 1. On my facebook page I asked for suggestions and thanks to all of you for your wonderful food suggestions! We were able to try few different restaurants and food trucks!! I am always crazy about food trucks and when we saw bunch of them parked by Walt Disney we had to try them! And while we were waiting for our order to arrive, we saw Jay Leno walk by and order his usual! He seemed to be the most down to earth public figure ever!

Of all the food I tried my personal favorite was eating at Seco  and if you go there you must try their Kale Salad! The BEST. Finely chopped kale, cilantro, green onions and the most exotic sweet and salty dressing ever!

I still have to do a post on our 10 day Yellow Stone National Park & Mt.Rushmore trip and after that one on this current trip! I know I know it’s been a week already since I promised but once I am back home, I will get to it! I promise! 🙂

Now let’s talk about this gorgeous summer salad which I was eating before we left for this trip! Summer fruits are usually what I like the best about summer and usually my lunches these days involve big bowls of my favorite fruits. This salad I just made one night when I had no intention of eating a proper dinner.Now I am lazy and I had no intention to make myself a proper dressing so I just added few things directly to the chopped fruits and it was the best Easiest fruit salad ever!!

I like to grill pineapple with some butter as it increases the sweetness and makes it just perfectly soft to eat. Have you tried it? Try it as you won’t go back to eating it any other way! So for this salad just take bunch of your favorite sweet fruits and chop them.

For this salad I took a grill pan and rubbed it with some butter. Then I laid pineapple pieces and cooked on both sides.

Then in a bowl add all the chopped fruit along with chopped grilled pineapple and throw in the ingredients for dressing. Stir everything gently and let it chill in fridge for 30 mins to an hour!

Serve ! It’s perfect to serve for summer bbq’s or even alongside a light summer dinner!
