Instructions
- Carefully dice the watermelon, kiwis, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mango, and oranges into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
- Transfer the colorful medley of chopped fruits into a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of each variety.
- Create the vibrant dressing by whisking together fresh lime juice and golden honey until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Gently cascade the zesty honey lime dressing over the fruit collection, using a delicate folding motion to ensure each piece is lightly glazed without crushing the delicate berries.
- For enhanced flavor melding, refrigerate the fruit salad for approximately 20-30 minutes before serving, allowing the dressing to subtly infuse the fruits with its tangy-sweet essence.
- When ready to enjoy, give the salad a final gentle toss to redistribute the dressing and present the glistening, refreshing summer fruit medley.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by using ripe, in-season fruits for the most vibrant and sweet taste profile.
- For a lower sugar option, replace honey with stevia or monk fruit sweetener to maintain the dressing’s consistency.
- Prep fruits just before serving to prevent browning and maintain crisp textures, especially for delicate berries.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves or chopped basil for an unexpected herbal twist that elevates the summer fruit salad’s complexity.
