Ingredients

Fruit Salad:

  • 1 (16 oz) package strawberries, sliced
  • 1 (6 oz) package raspberries
  • 1 pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 4 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cups grapes, cut in half
  • 3 mangos, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 5 mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented

Honey Lime Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime zest
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Place all the sliced and cut fruit—strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, mango, and mandarin oranges—in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly combined for balanced flavors in every bite.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This creates a tangy and sweet dressing that enhances the natural flavors of the fruit.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit in the large bowl. Gently stir the fruit and dressing together until all fruit pieces are thoroughly coated with the dressing, being careful not to mash the delicate fruits.
  4. Serve Immediately: For the freshest taste and best texture, serve the fruit salad immediately after tossing with the dressing. Enjoy this bright, refreshing dish as a snack or dessert.

Notes

  • This salad is best served immediately after the dressing is poured on to prevent the fruit from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your fruit or personal preference.
  • Chilling the fruit beforehand can keep the salad cool and refreshing, but keep the dressing separate until just before serving.
