How To Make Honey Lime Fruit Salad

1. Prep The Fruit: Place the washed and evenly sliced or diced strawberries, kiwi, mangoes, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple in a large salad bowl, mixing the colors and leaving space to fold everything together gently.

2. Make And Toss The Dressing: In a measuring jug, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and pineapple juice; pour over the fruit and gently fold to coat. If holding, re-toss to mix settled juices before serving.

Brighten up any meal by pairing this Honey Lime Fruit Salad with Greek Chicken for a zesty, herb-forward dinner contrast, Garlic Butter Baked Salmon for a light and savory weeknight plate, Chocolate Waffles for a decadent brunch pairing or Quick And Easy Pancakes for a sunny brunch where the fruit adds fresh sweetness on the side.

Pro Tips For A Seriously Good Fruit Salad

• Chill briefly before serving: Fifteen minutes in the fridge helps the flavours settle without making the fruit watery.
• Use ripe but firm fruit: Overripe fruit breaks down too quickly once dressed.
• Toss again before serving: Juices settle fast, so a gentle mix brings everything back together.
• Always use fresh lime: Bottled juice lacks the brightness this recipe relies on.
