A summer fruit salad made with oranges, bananas, and pineapple and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar and shredded coconut. Serve in individual parfaits for breakfast or brunch or make one big salad in a large glass serving bowl.
Sometimes when the heat and humidity reaches a certain point, warm foods just don’t sound that good and you can find yourself craving something cool and refreshing. A fruit salad is a nice choice for lunch or an afternoon snack.
Just a light dusting of confectioners sugar between each layer of fruit is all that is needed to sweeten the fruit. Adding the shredded coconut is optional, but I found it added a festive touch and a bit of an island flair to the presentation.
I also recommend having your children help you with this recipe as it is quick and easy. Since there is no cooking involved, they will have fun placing the fruit into each dish just right and sprinkling the confectioner’s sugar between each layer.
You could also serve this salad for breakfast or add it to your favorite brunch menu. As it uses common fruits that you may usually have in your pantry, it is a beautiful way to add some color and sparkle to your weekend brunch menu in only about 15 minutes.
