WE’RE BACK AND WE’RE BETTER DIAMONDS!

First and foremost I want to thank everyone who has still been supporting me and viewing this blog for the almost two months that I have been MIA on here. I also hope that I didn’t worry anyone because I know that all of you who have been following me for quite some time know how consistent I am with posting multiple times a week for years now. I am extremely committed and passionate to this website, but it was time to do the same for my mental health. I won’t go into too much detail or get too personal since some things are more private. However, I was dealing with some health issues and going through some battles in my own head, so I just needed to take a step back to recharge, regroup, and get myself super healthy again. Now, I am back, better, and brainstorming so many amazing recipes for the rest of this Summer for all of my favorite Diamonds!

I hope you’re ready! 😉

Back in the spring I was influenced by a beautiful creator on social media named Leah Victoria to make a “clean out your fridge” pasta salad. It came out wonderful and it was absolutely delicious! That was the concept that I wanted for this fruit salad recipe that you see here. This is the perfect thing to make right now since we are in the dead of Summer and it’s full on pool weather! Speaking of pool, this is an excellent snack to have while you lounge poolside watching your kids swim and play around. It’s also great for cookouts, dinner parties on the deck, or any type of gathering outside! This is a great dessert substitute if you’re trying to be super healthy this year like I am!

How to create this “Clean Out Your fridge” Fruit Salad:

You can use the exact same fruits as I did, or you can use totally different fruits all together depending on what have in your fridge and on your kitchen island.

• One red delicious apple- peeled and chopped.
• One nectarine- chopped.
• 6-8 strawberries-cut and sliced in half.
• A handful of raspberries- cut in half.
• Two big handfuls of grapes.
• Two handfuls of blueberries.
• 1/2 cup of chopped cantaloupe.

How to whip up the honey lime vinaigrette:

• Three tablespoons of EVOO. (extra virgin olive oil)
• Two tablespoons of honey.
• The juice and zest from 1/2 a lime.
• Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Whisk & pour over the rainbow of fruits!

If you’re enjoying summer and want to clean out your fridge with me before your weekly farmers market trip, then this is the way to do it Diamonds! Grab yourself a big bowl of sweet, tangy, and tart fruit salad and soak up the summertime. Unfortunately, these months don’t last forever!
