Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup grapes halved (red or green)
  • 2 kiwis peeled and sliced
  • 1 mango peeled and cubed
  • 1 orange peeled and segmented (or use mandarin slices)
  • ¼ cup mint leaves finely chopped

For the Honey Lime Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
  • Wash, peel, and slice all of the fruit as needed, then finely chop the mint leaves.
  • Place the prepared fruit and mint in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. If adding banana, slice and add it just before serving to keep it fresh.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm fruit so the salad holds its shape and doesn’t get mushy.
  • Chill the fruit before mixing to keep the salad cool and refreshing.
  • Zest the lime before juicing it to make the process easier and avoid waste.
  • Whisk the dressing until smooth so the honey blends evenly with the lime juice.
  • Toss the salad gently to keep delicate fruits like berries from breaking apart.
  • Add bananas or apples just before serving to prevent browning.
  • For extra flavor, let the salad sit in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving to let the dressing soak in.
  • Swap honey for maple syrup or agave if you prefer a vegan option.
  • Sprinkle fresh mint or basil on top right before serving for a bright finish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and stir gently before serving again.
