Nothing says summer quite like a big bowl of fresh fruit tossed in a vibrant citrus dressing. This is my go to recipe when I want something refreshing but don't have much time in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just thirty minutes, and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand already. Fresh citrus juice is packed with vitamin C, which gives your immune system a nice boost, and the natural sweetness from brown sugar means you don't need to go overboard with added sugar. It's the kind of simple, wholesome dish that makes everyone at the table happy.
