Recipe Variations

• Crunch Nutty Delight. Give your fruit salad a wonderful crunch with a nutty edge. Add chopped walnuts and almonds for a tactile, nutty symphony. In a delightful contrast to the luscious strawberries, the nuts give a delicious crunch. With the subtle sweetness from the almonds and the strong flavor from the walnuts, your fruit salad becomes a filling, healthy, and decadent feast.
