  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1/4 watermelon (scooped into balls, or cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 pineapple (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 lbs strawberries (sliced)
  • 2 bananas (sliced)
  • 1 can mandarin oranges (drained)
  • 1 cup green grapes (halved)
  • 1 cup red grapes (halved)
  • 3 kiwis (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 cup blueberries

Dressing

  • Juice from 2 large limes
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp poppyseeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dice all of your fruit into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl. This creates the colorful base of your salad.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved; you can microwave the dressing for 10 seconds to help this process. Then, add the poppyseeds and mix well.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the prepared fruit in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together so each piece of fruit is coated evenly with the dressing.
  4. Chill and Marinate: For optimal flavor, refrigerate the fruit salad for a few hours. This allows the fruits to absorb the tangy dressing and lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, serve the fruit salad cold as a refreshing and healthy snack or dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts before serving.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice and honey to your taste preference.
  • Use fresh fruits in season for the best flavor and quality.
  • This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours to ensure freshness.
