Ingredients

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries or raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups diced cantaloupe
  • 1 1/2 cups diced pineapple
  • 1 1/2 cups diced honeydew melon
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup halved grapes
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

Garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries or raspberries, diced cantaloupe, pineapple, honeydew melon, blueberries, halved grapes, and pomegranate arils. Toss gently to mix all the fruits evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime zest, and fresh lime juice until well combined and smooth.
  3. Toss the salad: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the mixed fruit in the large bowl. Toss everything gently to ensure all the fruit pieces are coated with the dressing.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for best freshness, or cover securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Use a variety of fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute any of the fruits with your seasonal favorites or whatever you have available.
  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Adding chopped nuts like toasted almonds or pecans can add a nice crunch and texture.
