Yeah, I love fruit salad, and I enjoy many garden salads,
But the fruit should stay in the fruit salads.
The only exception I've ever found is a salad that was served to me at a friend's house, and while I didn't really want to eat it, I didn't want to be rude. It was just arugula tossed with olive oil and topped with thinly sliced pears and asiago. I thought it was delicious, which surprised the hell out of me ... like, I took the "not to be rude" bite, thought ... uh, wtf, this is good, I must just be high ... took another bite ... it was ... still good.
