This is the best fruit salad recipe for any occasion, featuring a mix of seasonal fruit and a bright, simple honey-lime dressing. It is a quick fruit salad side dish that stays fresh.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 cups green grapes, halved
  • 2 cups pineapple, cubed
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 large mango, peeled and cubed
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the fruit: wash, hull, peel, and chop the strawberries, grapes, pineapple, mango, and kiwis as directed. Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the honey-lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until fully combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit until everything is lightly coated.
  4. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve cold as a healthy fruit salad or a vibrant fruit platter centerpiece.

Notes

  • To keep fruit salad fresh longer, avoid adding soft fruits like bananas until just before serving.
  • If you must use apples or bananas, toss them immediately with a little extra lime juice to prevent browning.
  • For a tropical fruit salad variation, substitute half the berries with cubed cantaloupe or papaya.
  • For a potluck fruit salad, you can prepare the fruit and the dressing separately up to 4 hours ahead. Combine just before leaving.
