Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 pound strawberries
  • 2 cups grapes
  • 6 kiwis
  • 1 pint blackberries
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 1 cup pineapple
  • 1 cup mandarin orange slices

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Zest the lime into a bowl then squeeze in about two tablespoons of lime juice. Drizzle in t tablespoons of honey and whisk together until combined. I like to add 1/2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier or Cointreau to the dressing but this is optional.
  2. Cut the strawberries, kiwis, and pineapple pieces. Halve the grapes, and wash and dry the black berries and raspberries. Add all the fruit to a large bowl and drizzle with the honey lime dressing then toss gently.
  3. Cover the fruit salad and refrigerate. You can serve Immediately but the salad is excellent chilled and actually comes together after an hour or two as the strawberries release their juice.

Notes

  • If you're adding bananas remember that they go in closer to the time you're serving as they may discolor.
  • I love a splash or Grand Marnier or Cointreau in my dressing but you can omit if serving to children.
  • Be gentle with those fruits. You need to toss the salad and distribute the dressing but you don't want to mangle those delicate kiwi slices and berries.
  • A little mint goes a long way for adding depth or flavor. You can use some as a garnish or cut the leaves and add them to the salad before tossing.
  • If you've not a lime fan then substitute lemon zest and juice for the dressing.
