Red white and blue fruit salad

4th of July is just around the corner and we are ready! I just love this red white and blue fruit salad. It just screams 4th of July food. 🙂 It is beautiful and you can throw it together in simply 5 minutes. It’s the perfect dessert when you need a last minute dish to take to a party and don’t have much time.  The fruit glaze is sweet and tangy and everyone will love it! They won’t guess you spent only 5 minutes making this yummy fruit salad!

Any bowl will work but I love to put this gorgeous salad in a patriotic serving bowl or platter! It just looks so festive especially for parties. I have a similar set and I use the large star for the fruit salad and the little blue star for dip and such. The middle size is perfect for chips or we love this Quick and Easy Cucumber Tomato Salad Recipe.

Red White and Blue Fruit Salad is easy.

I’m telling you- this recipe is so easy. Now, if you want to leave out the honey lime glaze you totally can… However, there is something about the sweet and sour glaze on top of this fruit that just makes it extra special. If I had to pick, I would say the bananas taste the best with the glaze, but it is hard to choose. I like to make sure I have some of each in every bite. 🙂 Blueberries, Strawberries and bananas look so pretty in this salad.

We just love all this festive food for 4th of July. I also like to decorate and made this gorgeous Easy to Make Star Shaped 4th of July Wreath. So fun! Sometimes we will have a cookout or family party and we have the best time. Throw something easy on the grill like Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs and you are set for the day!  In fact the last party, everyone just loved this red white and blue fruit salad! The fruit salad glaze is what everyone always wants the recipe for. Don’t leave it off because it is amazing. This is one of our most favorite dessert recipes for the 4th.

We also love to make ice cream for 4th of July. This Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe is so simple and absolutely delicious. It’s so good plain or you can add in fresh fruit or other fun toppings. It’s a fun patriotic dessert with lots of red, white and blue toppings!  There are so many food ideas to try!
