Ingredients
Scale
Mixed Fruit
- 4 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, grapes, etc.)
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry the mixed fruit thoroughly. Slice the strawberries, peel and chop the kiwi and pineapple, and halve the grapes if they are large to create bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and poppy seeds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Toss the Salad: Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey-lime poppy seed dressing over the fruit and gently toss to ensure every piece is lightly coated with the dressing.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dressed fruit salad for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use seasonal and ripe fruits for the best flavor and appearance.
- Swap honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- This salad is best served fresh and chilled to maintain fruit texture and flavor.
- For more texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but fruit may soften over time.
