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
- 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
- Combine Fruit: Add all the prepared fruit (strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, grapes, kiwis, mandarin oranges, and optional bananas) into a large mixing bowl.
- Make Dressing: In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and fresh lime juice until smooth and well combined.
- Toss Salad: Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit mixture, then toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the fruit evenly with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste and best texture. If preparing in advance, chop fruit (except bananas) and keep chilled separately from the dressing, then toss together right before serving.
Notes
- Fresh mandarin oranges are preferred, but you can substitute with one 15 oz can of drained mandarin oranges in juice or light syrup.
- Chop fruit up to one day in advance, except for bananas which should be sliced just prior to serving.
- The dressing can also be made and chilled a day ahead to enhance the flavors, then combined with the fruit before serving.
