Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup red grapes, halved
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 banana, sliced (optional add just before serving)
Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse and prepare each fruit, meticulously cutting them into uniform, bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Ensure all fruits are evenly chopped for consistent texture and aesthetic appeal.
- Create a vibrant citrus-infused dressing by blending fresh lime zest with golden honey and tangy lime juice. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a harmonious, glossy liquid that will enhance the natural sweetness of the fruits.
- Transfer the artfully chopped fruits into a spacious mixing vessel, allowing them to mingle and complement each other’s flavors. Drizzle the luminous dressing over the colorful medley, gently folding the ingredients to ensure each morsel is delicately coated without crushing the delicate fruit pieces.
- For optimal flavor development, refrigerate the fruit salad for up to two hours before serving, allowing the dressing to subtly permeate the fruits and create a refreshing, cohesive dish. When ready to enjoy, give the salad a light toss to redistribute the dressing and serve chilled for a crisp, invigorating experience.
Notes
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most vibrant and sweet flavor profile in your salad.
- Opt for a variety of colors and textures to create a visually appealing and interesting fruit mix.
- Cut fruits into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure easy eating and consistent dressing coverage.
- Chill ingredients beforehand to keep the salad refreshing and crisp, especially during warm weather.
