Boutique's Spin on 'Candy Salad' Craze Is the Perfect Blend of Fun and Healthy

When I was growing up, pop dinners were quite popular. They were an excellent way for everyone to engage in the meal and support the host. Plus, you could stumble upon a new recipe you wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

One variation of the old-fashioned trend is the “Candy Salad,” which has gained popularity recently. Attendees are invited to bring a bag of their preferred candy, which is then placed in a bowl and combined. The result is a fun, brightly colored dish of sugary goodness! However, the health-conscious workers at one boutique decided to make theirs with a twist. Not only does it look delicious, but it also looks like a lot of fun!

The well-dressed ladies from Palmer & Purchase (@ palmerandpurchase ) in NY look like they know how to have a good time. What better place to have a summer party and refreshing fruit salad than on the beach? It's the perfect spot to host a meal, and with this group effort, no one had to go out of their way. This idea captures the fun and vibrant essence of the original trend but with the natural sweetness and nutritional benefits of fresh fruit, ensuring no one goes home with spiked blood sugar or a tummy ache.

Fruit ‘Candy Salad’

This creative dish started with Abby, who brought the big glass bowl. Judy added cantaloupe, followed by Lily, who brought organic strawberries, and Tiffany, who had santelope—although I’m not sure what that was. Meghan followed with her mangoes, and Amanda brought bananas. Marcia came prepared with Michigan cherries, and Laurel had dragon fruit . After the blackberries went in, Cynthia added giant blueberries from New Jersey. Finally, Nancy completed the salad with fresh mint from her garden. What a terrific blend of friends and fruits!

Tips for a Fantastic Fruit Salad

1. For the best taste, use the freshest fruit you can find, but canned options can also work in a pinch.
   
   
2. Be sure to include a variety of colors and textures to make the salad visually appealing and interesting to eat.
   
   
3. Balance the sweetness of fruits with a few tart options, such as kiwi or pomegranate, to enhance the overall flavor profile.
   
   
4. Have fun and customize the salad with your favorite fruits. You can also experiment with different dressings or add a splash of citrus juice for extra tang.

Have fun with your friends with this terrific idea. Whether it’s fruit, vegetables, or candy, it will undoubtedly be a brilliant combination!
