Best Fruit Salad
from kristineskitchenblog.com
This fresh fruit salad has a delicious combination of colorful fruits and berries plus a zippy honey-lime dressing. This recipe is easily customizable to use the fruits that are in season; see the notes below for suggestions. I love to serve this fruit salad at Easter, summer BBQ's and as a healthy dessert. (Try it over a scoop of vanilla ice cream!)
Prep Time20 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 109kcal
- 1 pound red grapes or green grapes, about 3 cups
- 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 pound fresh strawberries about 2 cups sliced
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries about 1 cup
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries about 1 ½ cups
- 3 kiwi peeled and sliced
For the Dressing
- zest of one lime
- 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Wash and dry the fruits well. Peel, core and chop the pineapple, slice the strawberries and peel and chop the kiwi. Combine all fruit in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice and honey. Pour over the fruit and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
- Make Ahead: You can wash, dry and chop the fruit a few hours ahead. You can also make the dressing ahead. Add the dressing to the fruit no more than an hour before serving.
- Leftover fruit salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two. The fruit will soften and release some of its juices, but it will still taste delicious.
- Recipe Variations: Fruit salad tastes best when it’s made with ripe, in season fruit. You can adapt this recipe based on your preferences and what is in season. Try:
- Spring/Summer: Peaches, nectarines, raspberries, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, mangos.
- Fall/Winter: Pears, mandarin oranges, pomegranate.
- Year Round: Bananas, apples.
