Fruit salad is a classic summer dish that can be made in endless variations. This particular recipe was inspired by a trip to the farmers market, where I found myself surrounded by an abundance of fresh berries and tropical fruits. I wanted to create a fruit salad that would showcase the natural flavors of these fruits, so I decided to keep the ingredients simple and let them shine through. The result is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or brunch.
