How to make fruit salad

Step 1: Prepare the fruit. Slice or halve the strawberries depending on the size. Cut the grapes in half and chop one fresh pineapple into bite sized chunks.

Place the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple in a large bowl.

Step 2: Mix together the dressing. Stir together the zest of one lime, plus the lime juice and honey.

Step 3: Pour the dressing onto the fruit salad and stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate the fruit salad for a few hours, or until ready to serve. Stir it again right before serving.

All you need is just 6 ingredients to make this simple treat.

Many similar recipes call for sugar, but this fruit salad is sweetened with honey instead. Fruit itself is nature’s candy, so a touch of honey is all you need!

Ways to make Fruit Salad

Want to use other fruit for your fruit salad? Any of these would be delicious. You could also substitute lemon for the lime if you want to.

  • blackberries
  • kiwi
  • oranges
  • bananas
  • mango
  • raspberries

The honey lime dressing is my favorite part. It really marries all of the fruit flavors together and adds a tangy sweet twist!

Be sure not to skip out on the lime zest, it really adds a lot of flavor!

Storing

Leftover fruit salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

If you’re making this for a party, I recommend making it ahead of time and letting it chill in the fridge for at least an hour to let the fruit get cold and the dressing to marinate.

That will give it time for all of the delicious flavors to blend together!
