  • Naturally flexible: This fruit salad with honey lime dressing works year round and adapts easily to what fruit you have on hand.
  • Minimal effort, maximum payoff: A few minutes of prep gives you something that looks beautiful and tastes even better.

Pro Tips For A Seriously Good Fruit Salad

  • Chill briefly before serving: Fifteen minutes in the fridge helps the flavours settle without making the fruit watery.
  • Use ripe but firm fruit: Overripe fruit breaks down too quickly once dressed.
  • Toss again before serving: Juices settle fast, so a gentle mix brings everything back together.
  • Always use fresh lime: Bottled juice lacks the brightness this recipe relies on.

Yes! You can prepare the fruit and dressing separately a few hours in advance. Combine them just before serving so the fruit stays fresh and vibrant.

Strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, and grapes are a great mix. You can swap in seasonal fruits like peaches or pomegranate for variety.

Fresh lime juice is best for a bright citrus flavor, but bottled can be used in a pinch. If you do, reduce the amount slightly since bottled juice is stronger.
