Honey-Lime Fruit Salad
A colorful and refreshing fruit salad featuring strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes, dressed with a sweet honey-lime drizzle.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced (fresh, hulled)
- 2 cups pineapple, cubed (fresh is best; canned drained works in a pinch)
- 2 cups blueberries (rinsed, stemmed)
- 2 cups kiwi, sliced (peeled)
- 1 cup grapes, halved (red or green)
Dressing
- 1/4 cup honey (use mild-flavored honey or runny honey for easier whisking)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1 teaspoon zest of lime (use a microplane for fine zest)
Instructions
Preparation
- Hull and slice strawberries, cube the pineapple, peel and slice kiwis, rinse blueberries, and halve grapes. Aim for uniform bite-sized pieces.
Making the Dressing
- Whisk together honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Warm honey if thick to blend evenly.
Combining
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat. Avoid overmixing.
Serving
- Serve immediately for freshness or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Notes
For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup. To reduce sweetness, decrease honey to 2 tablespoons. Serve in chilled bowls or hollowed-out pineapple.
