What better way to end a light meal, than with this flavourful fruit cocktail.  I love fruit salads in the summer at any time of day as they are quite fresh.  This is nice served as pictured above or in little cocktail glasses topped with green yogurt for more of a dessert presentation (pictured below)

Just a little note that any fruits can be used in these cocktails.  These just happened to be the ones I had at home when making this salad.  Play around with the flavours you like best! And if you’re looking for inspiration, mangoes, grapes, passion fruit and any kind of berries would be a great addition.

One of the great things about fruit salads is you get to add what you love,
