Melted Popsicle Fruit Salad
As silly as it may sound, adding a melted popsicle or two to your bowl of fruit as the dressing makes a lot of sense.
Most fresh fruit salad recipes call for lime juice or honey. Popsicles have a similar flavor profile to those ingredients.
Plus, it’s a fun way to get the kids involved and have them eat more fruit—or popsicles, if that’s what you’re after!
