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!
Stacey says
Thanks, Jackie! I do think it is quite Southern to have it with a meal. Thanks for always popping over this way!
Tina says
