This fruit salad is perfect for a backyard barbecue or any special occasion, because there are never any leftovers! I believe the secret to this recipe is the citrus dressing, which makes it even more delicious. The salad tastes better the longer it absorbs the juices. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
