Late-summer fruits can be lush and ripe, but are often past their peak of flavor. I like my midsummer fruit salads plain, but by late summer, fruit salads can use the help of a sauce to enliven the flavors. This Late Summer Fruit Salad recipe adds an Agave-Mint Dressing to make the fruity flavors really pop!
