California is one of the fruit capitals of the world, and who better to celebrate its bounty than our Los Angeles Food Bloggers. Whether coming from a local farmers market or from their backyard, our group brought fabulous summer fruit dishes to our July meeting. Salads, chicken, quesadillas, appetizers, sangria and desserts, all with the fruits of the summer season.
Above is a wonderful Nectarine, Hazelnut and Arugula Salad from Adair at Lentil Breakdown. By the way, she just returned from Morocco and has new posts about the markets and food there. Really interesting. Check them out.
Christina from MDR Photography brought a Citrus Sangria that made everyone very happy. *wink*

Thanks for the great post! Everybody’s dish was wonderful and your Lemon Swirl Cheesecake Bars were killer!
Darn, now I’m hungry again! This was one of my favorite potluck themes of all time!
Is it too late to go back for seconds?
Thanks so much for the round-up and especially your great pictures.
That was a fun potluck, indeed:) Thanks for gathering all the recipes together! Your photos are amazing, as always:)
Loved your lemon bars! I had 3!
It already feels cold up here 🙁 I miss summer and it’s not even over yet! Also, this looks like quite the feast!
Love the roundup! Thanks for including a photo of my grandma’s Banana Salad. It was fun to share one of our family’s most sacred recipes with the group.
