The Food Factor: Red, White, and Blue Salad
Video by Jonathan Parrish
Fresh, cold fruit and creamy, fat-free topping make this Red, White, & Blue Salad the perfect treat to beat the heat at your next summer gathering. A little bit of lime juice will keep the bananas from browning and adds that zesty citrus flavor I love so much!
If you’re in a hurry, buy pre-cut watermelon at the grocery store. Otherwise, pick up a locally grown watermelon . . . and sneak a few bites while you cut it up!
