Honey Lime Fruit Salad

Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained well, or about 1 1/2 to 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 (15-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained well
  • 2 to 3 ripe kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup red or green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • Zest from one lime, about 1/2 tablespoon
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions 

  • Combine the fruit in a serving bowl. Add the lime zest and toss.
  • Drizzle the honey over the fruit and gently mix until the fruit is evenly coated. Sprinkle the poppy seeds on top, if using, and toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving (any longer and the fruit salad can get a bit watery and discolored from the strawberries).

Notes

Serving: this fruit salad is best served right away (or within an hour or so of making).
Fruit Substitutions: this honey lime fruit salad recipe is super adaptable to other kinds of fruit. A few ideas for additions or substitutions: blueberries, cantaloupe or honeydew, mango, blackberries, apples, fresh peaches.
