Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 2 teaspoons lime zest (Zest of 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (Juice of 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons honey (use agave for vegan)
Fruit
- 2 cups green grapes (cut half or thirds if large)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup green kiwi (quartered lengthwise and sliced, about 3 kiwi)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Make The Dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime zest, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together until well blended. The dressing can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Wash & Prep Fruit: Wash all fruit thoroughly. Cut the grapes, strawberries, and kiwi into small, bite-sized pieces to make the salad easier to eat and visually appealing.
- Combine Fruit: In a large bowl, combine the prepared grapes, sliced strawberries, kiwi, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds.
- Gently Coat With Dressing: Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently stir to coat all pieces evenly. Be especially gentle with the raspberries to avoid crushing; you may add them last if preferred.
- Serve & Store: Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or serve within 2 hours for the best texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days as the fruit will soften and become more juicy over time.
