Summer eating feels best when it is light and healthy; especially when it is hot outside. This Savory Fruit Salad is the perfect summer meal. The grapefruit and orange are packed with Vitamin C and fiber; not to mention this is an excellent way to "fill up" on healthy fruits and vegetables and lose weight the natural, healthy way; rather than dieting:
AIMEE'S SUMMER SAVORY FRUIT SALAD
