Parrothead Salad

Recipesfull introduces to you: Fruit Salad Recipes. (Parrothead Salad). I first had this colorful salad at a tailgate before a Jimmy Buffett concert, thus the name! It's perfect for spring and summer get-togethers when the ingredients are fresh and ripe. My supper club likes it even better with Buffett playing in the background! Serve with poppy seed dressing.
