Easter Fruit Salad (Printable)

Colorful spring fruit medley with sweet honey lime glaze and fresh mint garnish.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

02 - 1 cup pineapple, diced

03 - 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved

04 - 1 cup blueberries

05 - 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced

06 - 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)

07 - 2 tablespoons honey

08 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

09 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

10 - 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

11 - 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

01 - In a large salad bowl, combine strawberries, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges.

02 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and poppy seeds (if using) until fully incorporated.

03 - Drizzle the dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the honey-lime glaze.

04 - Sprinkle chopped mint leaves over the salad just before serving to preserve their vibrant color and aroma.

05 - Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a crisp, refreshing presentation.

01 -

The lime and honey dressing keeps fruits bright and prevents browning, even the next day
It is the perfect make ahead dish for brunch, actually getting better after thirty minutes in the fridge

02 -

Let the salad sit for at least thirty minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together in the bowl
Apples and bananas turn brown quickly, so save them for a different salad unless you plan to toss them in citrus juice first

03 -

Buy fruit at different stages of ripeness so nothing becomes mushy before you are ready to assemble
The lime zest is the real flavor bomb here, do not skip it even if it seems fussy
