Wow your dish looks awesome I wish reach through my computer screen and have a piece.
Thank you for sharing your talents I will be checking your website again.
Thanks, Nicole! Come back often!
Stacey,
I believe this must be a “Southern thang”. My mother wouldn’t think of sitting down to a special meal without having a fruit salad. I did a post about our “Simple Fruit Salad” tradition and several readers commented that is was a tradition in their Southern families, too. I made an orange juice and honey dressing very similar to yours. Nicely done!
Thanks, Jackie! I do think it is quite Southern to have it with a meal. Thanks for always popping over this way!
Wow! Looks and sounds delicious!
The recipe says 1/3 honey. Is that 1/3 cup?
Ooop! Yep! 1/3 cup honey
