How To Make Checkerboard Fruit Salad

Simply cut all your fruits and cheese into cubes. You can choose the size of the cubes, however, make sure all the ingredients have the same cube size. If you are using feta cheese, you can either cut it into cubes or crush it and use it as a garnish on top of your checkerboard salad. Now set them all in an alternative design to achieve a checkerboard format. For the dressing, combine olive oil with lemon juice and drizzle on top. Sprinkle over some salt, and pepper and garnish with mint leaves. Alternatively, you can also drizzle balsamic vinegar reduction. Enjoy!
