Summer Fruit Salad
Description
The Summer Fruit Salad is composed of blueberries, raspberries, two types of grapes, strawberries, kiwi, mango, and pineapple, offering a colorful array of juicy textures from firm to soft. The dressing combines lime zest and juice with honey, orange juice, poppy seeds, and vanilla extract, adding brightness, sweetness, and subtle complexity. Tossing the fruits with this dressing lightly coats them and enhances their natural flavors without overpowering them.
This salad can be served chilled as a side dish or light dessert, especially suitable for hot days or as part of a brunch spread. The fresh mint garnish adds a cool, herbaceous note that complements the citrus dressing and fruit sweetness.
