A quick and easy fresh fruit salad tossed with a sweet and tangy honey lime dressing, perfect for a refreshing summer snack or gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mango, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse all the fruit thoroughly under cold water. Peel and dice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch chunks). Hull and halve the strawberries. Peel and slice the kiwi thinly. Cube the mango into small pieces. Halve the green grapes. Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of raw honey, the juice of one large lime (about 2 tablespoons), the finely grated zest of one lime, and a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon). Whisk together until smooth and well combined. If honey is thick, warm it slightly to help it mix easier.
  3. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit in the large bowl. Gently fold the dressing into the fruit using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to mash the berries or kiwi. Toss just enough to coat all pieces evenly.
  4. Finely chop a handful of fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Fold lightly to incorporate (optional).
  5. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. Add dressing just before serving to keep fruit fresh. Freshly squeezed lime juice is preferred over bottled. Gently fold to avoid bruising berries. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Optional: sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture.
