Instructions
- 1
In a small Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Honey, fresh Lime Juice, Lime Zest, and Vanilla Extract (if using) until the Honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth. Set aside.
- 2
Wash and thoroughly dry all fruit before cutting — excess water will dilute the dressing. Hull and quarter the Strawberries, halve the Red Grapes, peel and slice the Kiwi, peel and segment the Mandarin Oranges, and cube the Watermelon and Cantaloupe.
- 3
Add all the prepared fruit to a large Mixing Bowl. Gently toss to distribute the colors and varieties evenly.
- 4
Drizzle the Honey-Lime Juice dressing over the fruit. Using a large Wooden Spoon or Spatula, gently fold the fruit from the bottom up — do not stir vigorously, as this can bruise the softer fruits.
- 5
Taste and adjust: if the fruit is very sweet, add a little extra Lime Juice; if it's tart, add a touch more Honey.
- 6
Transfer the fruit salad to a large serving Bowl. Scatter the torn fresh Mint leaves over the top just before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate (covered) for up to 2 hours before serving.
