Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups seedless grapes
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned
- 1 cup blueberries
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the fruit: Place all the prepared fruit—strawberries, pineapple chunks, seedless grapes, sliced kiwi, mandarin orange sections, and blueberries—into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine fruit and dressing: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the bowl of fruit.
- Toss the fruit: Gently toss the fruit to ensure every piece is coated with the honey-lime dressing without bruising the delicate pieces.
- Garnish and chill: Optionally, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the top for added freshness and color. Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the fruit salad cold as a refreshing side dish or healthy dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute or add other seasonal fruits such as mango, peaches, or raspberries for variety.
- Adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of honey if you prefer a less sweet salad.
- This salad tastes best when served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
