Ingredients

Dressing:

  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Fruit:

  • 10 cups mixed fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces (such as strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, and melon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, lime zest, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the honey is fully incorporated.
  2. Combine fruit and dressing: Place the mixed fresh fruit into a large serving bowl. Pour the prepared honey-lime dressing over the fruit. Gently toss the fruit and dressing together to evenly coat all pieces without crushing the fruit.
  3. Serve: Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes if desired, or serve immediately at room temperature. This will enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing taste.

Notes

  • Use a variety of fresh fruits for a colorful and flavorful salad.
  • Serve chilled for a more refreshing option, especially on warm days.
  • Adjust honey quantity according to sweetness preference and fruit sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Poppy seeds add a subtle crunch and visual appeal but can be omitted if unavailable or for allergies.
