Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare all your fruits by washing, peeling (if necessary), and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, orange juice, and pinch of salt until well combined. The salt helps balance the sweetness and enhances the fruit flavors.
  3. Pour the honey lime dressing over the prepared fruits and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the softer fruits.
  4. Let the fruit salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time helps the dressing penetrate the fruits.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. For best results, serve within 2 hours of preparation.

Notes

Choose seasonal fruits for best flavor, prevent browning by tossing apples/bananas with extra lime juice, make dressing ahead up to 2 days, adjust honey based on fruit sweetness, serve within 2 hours for best texture.
