Vegan Fruit Salad

Vegan Fruit Salad – deliciously creamy dessert, low in calories.

Fruit salads are excellent desserts, because they are low in calories but still satisfying sweet tooth. Recipe for this raw Vegan Fruit Salad is deliciously creamy, resembling Ambrosia Salad, but does not contain any dairy cream dressing. Instead, it uses cashew cream made from scratch. If you cannot find cashews in your local store, you can use any other vegan cream you like.

Even though it is possible to use canned fruit for this salad, I prefer using fresh fruit whenever possible. Vegan Fruit Salad can be served at the end of a meal, or as a healthy afternoon snack.
