Ingredients
  

  • Zest and juice of one lime
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 4 to 6 cups Chopped fresh fruit of your choice

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Blender
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your fruits. Wash and chop them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even flavor distribution. I often use strawberries, blueberries, and peaches, but feel free to mix in whatever you have on hand.
  2. Next, move onto the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the zest and juice of one lime with 1 tablespoon honey. Whisk them together until the honey is well incorporated with the lime juice, creating a smooth dressing that’s both sweet and tangy.
  3. Add the chopped fruits into a large bowl. Pour the lime and honey dressing over the fruit mix. This is where the magic happens—gently toss everything together. Make sure the fruits are well coated with the dressing. The colors will come together beautifully, and the aroma will be irresistible!
  4. Once combined, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least twenty minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste. You’ll notice how the sweet honey and zesty lime infuse into the fruits.
  5. After chilling, take the salad out and give it another gentle toss. This ensures that every piece of fruit is refreshed with the dressing. Serve immediately, and watch as your guests indulge in this refreshing treat!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Try to chop the fruit into similar-sized pieces for an even flavor distribution.
  • Tip 2: We used strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but other fruits like kiwi, green or red grapes, peaches, mandarin oranges, cantaloupe, and fresh pineapple can be used.
  • Tip 3: It will alter the flavor a bit, but you can use pure maple syrup instead of honey.
