Description
A quick and refreshing no-cook fruit salad featuring a vibrant mix of fresh fruits tossed in a tangy-sweet honey lime dressing, perfect for summer and any time you want a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
- 1 cup seedless grapes, halved (red or green)
- 1 cup blueberries, washed and patted dry
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium mango, peeled and diced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons honey (raw clover honey recommended)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse all fruit thoroughly under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and dice mango and kiwi, halve grapes, and slice kiwi. Chop pineapple into bite-size chunks if not pre-cut. Place all fruit into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until well combined. Stir in finely chopped mint if using.
- Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit bowl. Gently toss with a large spoon or spatula to coat all pieces evenly without bruising the fruit.
- Spoon the dressed fruit into clean mason jars, filling each about three-quarters full. Leave a little space at the top for juices to mingle but not overflow. Seal with lids.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and fruit chill. Can be served immediately but tastes better chilled.
Notes
Choose firm, ripe fruits to avoid mushiness. Mix dressing just before serving if prepping ahead to prevent soggy fruit. Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled for best flavor. Mint is optional but recommended for freshness. Do not overfill jars to avoid spills. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
