Fresh Fruit Salad
A great way to end a hearty meal is with a fresh salad of seasonal fruits. Because we joined the CSA, we are still getting farm-fresh strawberries in October. For this salad we used strawberries, Braeburn apples, and Bartlett pears. We spritzed a bit of lemon juice on just so that the fruit would not oxidize.
