Ingredients
FOR THE FRUIT SALAD:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries sliced and halved (about 3 cups)
- 1 pound diced fresh pineapple about 3 cups
- 1 pint fresh blueberries about 2 cups
- 5 kiwi fruit peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups seedless red grapes
- 1 large banana* peeled and cut into bite sized pieces (about 1 cup)
- chopped fresh mint optional
FOR THE DRESSING:
- zest of 1/2 medium orange
- juice of 1/2 the same medium orange about 3 tablespoons
- Zest of 1 small lime or 1/2 small lemon
- juice of the same 1 small lime or 1/2 small lemon
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- If you will not be serving the fruit salad right away, place all of the fruit except the banana in a large serving bowl: strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes.
- In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing: orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, honey, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and with a large spoon.
- Toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the juices to marry (1 hour is even better).
- Just before serving, stir in the banana. Sprinkle with fresh mint. Enjoy!
Notes
- *The banana will turn a little brown as it sits and its flavor will become more pronounced, which is why I suggest to add it just before serving. If this doesn't bother you, feel free to add it right away.
- TO STORE: Fruit salad tastes best the day it is made, but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Serve with a slotted spoon to avoid collecting too many of the excesses juices.
- TO FREEZE: My favorite for smoothies! Spread your leftover fruit onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, then transfer the fruit to a ziptop bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
