This Fourth of July fruit salad is a healthy and refreshing snack for Fourth of July parties and barbecues that can be enjoyed by all. Made with three simple ingredients, this festive Fourth of July dessert comes together in just a few minutes. Many Fourth of July parties are very meat- and gluten-heavy and it can be difficult for us to find something we can eat. This Fourth of July fruit salad is just one recipe that we can add to parties to ensure that everyone has something to eat. No more eating at home before the party!
I love to pair this easy Fourth of July recipe with other vegan and gluten free options, like these Mexican lettuce cups and this kale and sweet potato salad. To make your Fourth of July prep easier, you can offer options that are both vegan and gluten free so you don’t have to make a bunch of extra dishes.

Step-By-Step Instructions To Make This Fourth of July Fruit Salad
1. Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by rinsing your strawberries. Quarter them and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the Blueberries: Wash the blueberries and add them to the bowl with the strawberries. Gently toss to mix.
3. Create Apple Stars: Wash the Pink Lady apple. Using a small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out stars from the apple slices. This step not only adds a festive touch but also makes the salad visually appealing.
4. Combine Everything: Add the star-shaped apple pieces to the bowl with the other fruits. Toss everything gently to mix without crushing the fruits.
5. Chill and Serve: Chill the fruit salad until ready to serve.
Fruit Salad Variations
Choose any apple. The Pink Lady apple can be swapped out for Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, or any other apple of your choice.
Add more fruits. Choose more red and blue-ish fruits, like blackberries, raspberries, and watermelon to add to the fruit salad.
