A light, refreshing, and colorful fruit salad tossed in a tangy honey lime dressing, perfect for summer breakfasts, snacks, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
  • 1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Optional garnishes: sprinkle of chili powder or cayenne

Instructions

  1. Wash all the fresh fruit under cold water, then pat dry with a clean towel. Hull and quarter the strawberries, peel and dice the mango, slice the kiwis, halve the grapes, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit in the large bowl. Gently toss everything with a large spoon or salad tongs, making sure all the fruit pieces are coated evenly but not mashed.
  4. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves or a pinch of chili powder over the salad for extra flavor and color.
  5. Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Drain any excess liquid before serving if the salad is too juicy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. Whisk honey and lime juice thoroughly to prevent clumps. Gently toss fruit to keep pieces intact. Prepare up to 3 hours ahead and store covered in the fridge. Drain excess juice before serving if needed. Best eaten within 24 hours.
