Nothing beats fresh fruit for a healthy dessert. This is one of my favorite healthy endings to a simple summer meal…colorful fruit salad.
Most kids love fruit anyway, so enlist them to help choose a rainbow combination of their favorite fruits. The more variety, the better the presentation and nutrition. And to make this dessert extra kid-friendly be sure the presentation rocks!
What could be simpler? Choose at least three or more fresh fruits to combine. Mix together bite-sized pieces of strawberries, watermelon, blueberries, cantaloupe, kiwi, pineapple and mango and mix together. No dressing necessary; the natural fruit juices combine for just the right amount of light syrup.
Serve the fruit salad from a large platter or glass bowl and ladle into sherbet cups. Make it fancy by adding a small dollop of low-fat whipped cream.
Pretty and delicious!
