Friendship Fruit Salad

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

 I am super busy getting ready for my trip to New York for the Sandra by Sandra Lee launch party and I’m prepping my son’s 3rd birthday party, so I’m taking an easy out today. LOL!

My seven year, Kaylynn, is in her 3rd year of Girl Scouts and is finally old enough for a campout. The Leaders planned a fun camping trip including teaching the girls how to make their own supper. Food tastes better when you make it yourself and when it has a fun name, right?!?!?

The girls gathered around the picnic table and each had a job to do. Each person should have their own fruit to prepare. Thus making it “Friendship Fruit Salad.”

The sky is the limit with this fruit salad. We used all fresh fruit, but I’ve seen it made with canned fruits, nuts, marshmallow, yogurt, you name it!

I just love this picture! Don’t you?!?! Those strawberries were amazing! I downloaded a new app on my iPhone that allows you to take out colors and put back color. The only thing I did to this picture was remove the color of the cutting board. It really made the strawberries pop!

Isn’t this the cutest idea! The girls were at just the right age to safely use the knives to cut the fruit and they just chatted and prepped the salad. It reminds me of when I get together with my girlfriends to eat and gab!

This a great activity for slumber parties, scouts, or kids that just want to help out in the kitchen.

    This salad is amazing and has the nicest name. However I am interested in the app. That allowed you to change the colors? That sounds cool. Thanks

    Definitely a delighting idea! And I really think Friendship fruit salad tastes a lot even better than the plain fruit salad I make myself. Hi hi. 🙂

      It surely does Trisha. I had the opportunity to prepare it myself and I must admit that it tastes great. I am looking forward to preparing it again some time.

    This looks like a great idea for kids! I’d make it just for myself though, I do love a big fruit salad. Just be careful of not using too many citrus foods because of the excess acid.

    When everyone pitches in, great things happen! One piece of fruit is nice, but a colorful salad full of different flavors is better. Your class will love building this salad from their contributions and enjoying the “fruits” of their labor with a special snack.
