Scale
Fruit
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 lb fresh pineapple, chopped
- 12 oz fresh blueberries
- 12 oz red grapes, sliced into halves
- 4 kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 3 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned (or 1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained)
- 2 bananas, sliced (optional)
Honey Lime Dressing
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp lime zest (zest of 2 medium limes)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Add all of the prepared fresh fruit—strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, grapes, kiwis, mandarins, and optional bananas—into a large mixing bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and fresh lime juice until well combined, creating a smooth dressing.
- Toss the salad: Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss to evenly coat all the pieces with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness and taste. Optionally, refrigerate the fruit and dressing separately and combine just before serving if prepping in advance.
Notes
- Fresh mandarins are preferred for optimal texture and flavor, but a well-drained 15 oz can of mandarin oranges in juice or light syrup can be used as a substitute.
- Fruit (except bananas) can be chopped up to one day in advance. Store chopped fruit and dressing separately in the refrigerator and toss right before serving to maintain freshness.
