Patriotic Berry Salad

Patriotic Berry Salad is a perfect summer salad because the fruits are so plentiful this time of year.

This salad is really a cross between a leaf salad and a fruit salad. You will find that the dressing is a little on the sweet side which makes it oh so yummy. You could use any combination of fruits and vegetables that you wish, but the dressing should be consistent with this recipe. For a recent gathering, I tried to reduce the sugar by taking out the brown sugar, and it was just not the same. It needs the brown sugar. In addition, I like mixing the dressing in a mason jar, and shake right before serving the salad. Finally, the dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a week. In summary, you will want to serve my Patriotic Berry Salad soon. Serve this salad alongside my Two-tone Lasagna.
