Fruit is not just for dessert anymore! With its wide range of colors and textures, nothing makes a more beautiful entree salad than layers of fresh or canned fruit. Why not create an interesting and unique summer salad by combining colorful, healthful fruit with fresh shrimp or other seafood?

  • 2 cups watermelon balls
  • 2 cups cantaloupe balls
  • 2 cups honeydew balls
  • 2 cups sliced peaches
