Sangria Fruit Salad
You can make this non-alcoholic by just omitting the wine! I like to save the dressing and have it as a refreshing juice drink over ice! Of course you could add more wine to it!!
1 orange, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 apple, Granny Smith or another tart variety, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup blueberries
Dressing
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup red table wine, cabernet sauvignon
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1. Mix fruit together in a large non-metal bowl.
2. Mix dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl.
3. Pour dressing over fruit. Stir. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
4. Remove with slotted spoon. Reserve dressing. Serve.
5. Reserved dressing can be used in drinks.

yum, that looks so tasty and refreshing. Question, I know it wouldn't be the same, a lot of my extended family doesn't drink, could you sub the wine for grape juice?
Absolutely! Concord grape juice for red wine and if you'd rather do white grape, I'd cut out the OJ! You can always offer wine on the side, too!
Oh YUM! Sangria is among my favorite cool summer drinks. When I saw that you made a Sangria Fruit Salad, I had to come over to get this recipe! It looks so refreshing and it's the essence of summer!
Best,
Alaiyo
Thanks Alaiyo! Its so easy to adjust for any gathering!

Sangria is one of my favorites, although I don't get to drink it too much anymore. Putting it in fruit salad is brilliant.
That's what nice about it, its good without the wine. You can substitute white grape juice for the wine too!
This is such a creative idea to fancy up a simple fruit salad.
Thanks Laura! So easy to adjust the flavors too!
WOW! I'm in love with the dressing! This sounds amazing!
I make it with and without wine, you can go red or white, whatever you like!

Cindy, I love sangria and fruits! Your recipe sounds fabulous and sooo simple I'm going to serve it on the fourth. My son is coming to eat with us and he loves fruit as much I do. I know he's gonna love this. I think I'll ask him to take some photos for mehe's a photographer [wink wink]
You got it Kathy! Very simple but you can always add your favorite spices if you like! The fruit combo colors will make a good photo!

I love the addition of wine to your fruit salad. Quite frankly, the best of sangria is the wine-soaked fruit!
Absolutely! That\’s where my idea originated!
I just love sangria on a hot summer day! This fruit salad gives you all the taste but not that much alcohol. Great idea!
Me too!
I love the dressing for this! Fruit salad is traditional, but it is one of my favorites. The dressing sounds like a great twist.
Thanks Erin! I love all different kinds of fruit salads!
Wow someone shared this recipe during #sundaysupper. I definitely have to try with the zests and wine!
Hi Andrea! Let me know how you like it!
