Fresh and Zesty Fruit Salad
This bright and refreshing fruit salad is tossed in a simple honey lime dressing that makes all the flavors pop.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a big bowl of fresh fruit to brighten up a lunch or a weekend brunch. This is my go to recipe for potlucks and parties because it is light, sweet, and always disappears within minutes.
The secret is the quick dressing made from honey and lime juice. It keeps the fruit looking fresh for longer and adds a lovely zesty finish that balances out the natural sweetness of the berries and melons.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups green grapes, halved
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Prepare all your fruit by washing, peeling, and chopping as needed.

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss very gently with a large spoon to ensure everything is evenly coated.

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If you want to make this ahead of time, add the dressing right before you serve so the fruit stays firm. You can also toss in some fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
