About this recipe

A vibrant, crowd-pleasing fresh fruit salad dressed with a light honey-lime syrup and a hint of fresh mint.

Perfect for brunches, potlucks, barbecues, or a simple healthy snack — it comes together in minutes and always disappears fast.

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until the honey is fully dissolved. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prep all your fruit: Hull and quarter the strawberries, rinse and dry the blueberries, halve the red grapes, peel and slice the kiwis into half-moons, peel and dice the mango, and separate the clementines into segments.

3. 3

   Add all the prepared fruit (except banana, if using) to a large mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Pour the honey-lime juice dressing over the fruit. Using a large wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold everything together until all the fruit is lightly coated. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the softer pieces.

5. 5

   If time allows, let the salad rest for 5–10 minutes at room temperature so the flavors meld and the fruit releases a little natural juice. If serving later, cover and refrigerate.

6. 6

   Just before serving, fold in the sliced banana (if using) and scatter the fresh mint chiffonade over the top. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
