Quick Fruit Salad
A bright and refreshing fruit salad that combines strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, watermelon, and grapes with a simple honey-lime dressing. Perfect for a quick treat or picnic.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced Choose firm, fragrant berries.
- 2 cups blueberries Fresh blueberries work best.
- 2 cups pineapple, diced Choose ripe pineapple.
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed Use seedless watermelon for easier eating.
- 2 cups grapes, halved Halve grapes to reduce choking hazards.
Dressing
- 1/4 cup honey Agave can be used for a vegan option.
- 1 lime juiced Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash all fruits, hull the strawberries, halve the grapes, dice the pineapple, and cube the watermelon. Place all the fruit into a large bowl and gently toss to combine.
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk the honey with the juice of one lime until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.
Combine
- Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit. Gently fold to coat the fruit without crushing the berries.
Serve
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. For best texture, serve soon after mixing.
Notes
Chill the fruit before mixing to keep the salad crisp. Pat ripe fruit dry to avoid a watery salad. For a tropical variant, add mango and substitute honey for agave.
