Description
Prepare a refreshing fruit salad featuring seasonal spring produce lightly coated in a simple honey and lime dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all the fresh fruit according to the ingredient list. Place the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest until fully combined. This creates your dressing.
- Pour the honey-lime dressing evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Gently toss the fruit until all pieces are lightly coated with the dressing. Avoid over-mixing to keep the fruit intact.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the salad and toss once more lightly.
- Chill the fruit salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For added texture, you can mix in 1/4 cup of slivered almonds or chopped pecans just before serving.
- If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the lime juice by one teaspoon.
- Select fruits that are firm and ripe for the best texture.
