Rainbow fruit salad with honey lime dressing
A fresh fruit salad is always a crowd-pleaser, but this rainbow fruit salad with honey lime dressing takes it to the next level.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries (hulled and quartered)
- 1 pound kiwis (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 1 pound red grapes (cut in half)
- 18 ounces blueberries
- 1 medium pineapple (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 3 Clementine (peeled and separated)
- 2 mangoes (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 2 limes (juiced + ½ teaspoon lime zest)
- ¼ cup honey
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and dice the fruits into bite-sized pieces. Then place the diced fruits in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest if using.
- Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the top of the fruits.
- Gently toss to coat the fruit in the dressing, garnish with mint if desired. Then serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm fruits to prevent mushiness.
- You can swap out honey for maple syrup if you prefer. Also lemon can be used instead of lime.
- Chill before serving for the best flavor. When ready to serve, gently toss the salad to redistribute the dressing.
- Mix up the fruits, you can swap in raspberries, blackberries, or peaches based on what’s in season.
- When choosing to swap out fruits, be aware that some fruits release more juice than others, especially melons, which can make the salad watery over time.
- Apples, pears, and bananas tend to brown quickly, so it’s best to add them just before serving if you choose to include them.
- Tossing apples and pears in lemon juice will help reduce the oxidation process that causes the browning.
- Depending on the number of servings you are making, this recipe can be halved, doubled or tripled.
