Fresh Fruit Salad With Honey Lime Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Mix pineapple, oranges, strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapefruit, and grapes together in a bowl; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Combine oil, lime juice, honey, vinegar, and ginger in a bottle with a lid; cover and shake until dressing is mixed. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. Shake dressing again; drizzle over fruit and toss to coat.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine fruit. In a small bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, zest and vanilla. Pour over fruit; gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Garnish with mint if desired.

Steps:

• All fruit should be washed and dried before being ready for the salad.
• Cut skin from pineapple, so no brown spots are left. Cut peeled fruit into quarters lengthwise, cut off core, then dice each quarter into approximate one-inch chunks. Place in large bowl.
• Peel and remove seeds from the cantaloupe, then cut into one-inch cubes. Place in bowl with pineapple.
• Halve or quarter strawberries, depending on size, and add to bowl.
• Slice each nectarine into about 10-12 slices, then gently pull each slice away from pit and add them to the bowl.
• Cut the ends off of kiwi fruits, then insert a small spoon just under peel of each, and slide it around the fruit, just under the peel, until the peel is separated from the fruit. Cut each peeled kiwi in half lengthwise, then each half into four or five slices. Add to the rest of fruit.
• Add blueberries and blackberries to the rest of fruit. Prepare dressing (below).
• In a small bowl (I actually prefer a mason jar to shake the ingredients together in), mix together honey, lime juice and zest, ginger (I use a microplane to grate it fine), and poppy seeds. Whisk well, then pour over fruit and toss gently to coat.
• (You can prepare this salad up to a day ahead of time, but keep the different kinds of fruit separated from each other just until serving, or the colors will bleed. It tastes best at room temperature. The dressing actually tastes better made a day in advance anyway).
• TIPS ON FINDING RIPE FRUIT: For pineapple, the skin should be slightly yellow, firm to the touch but not hard--will give a little. And, when a leaf near the top of the fruit is tugged gently, it should easily remove from the fruit. For cantaloupe, it should be firm but give slightly, a bit yellowish on the rind--those "veins" are a good sign--it means they were left long enough on the ground to ripen properly. And, if you poke a fingernail in the top "dime" spot, you should be able to smell the fruit. If you can't smell anything, it's not ripe. Strawberries should be shiny and fragrant. Nectarines should have a slight give and be fragrant. Blueberries and blackberries should be firm and deeply colored. Kiwi fruit should be firm, but not rock hard--must have a very slight "give".

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds in a bowl and set aside.
• Combine the orange juice and banana slices in a separate bowl.
• Add the berries and grapes and gently mix the fruit mixture together.
• Spoon the fruit into serving bowls and top with the yogurt.

Steps:

• Combine bananas, strawberries, and blueberries in a bowl. Drizzle honey and lime juice over fruit; stir to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts.

Steps:

• Combine the fruit in a large serving bowl.
• Add the lime zest and poppy seeds, and gently toss.
• Drizzle the honey over the fruit and gently mix until the fruit is evenly coated with the honey. Serve immediately
• This fruit salad is best served right away (or at least within an hour of making).

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, honey and mint in large bowl to blend. Using melon baller, scoop out cantaloupe. Add all fruit to syrup in bowl; toss to combine. Let stand 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Spoon fruit into goblets.

Steps:

• Quarter the strawberries and place into a large bowl.
• Dice the mango and place on top of the strawberries.
• Peel and dice the kiwi. Add into the bowl.
• Slice bananas and place in the bowl. Add in the blueberries.
• In a small bowl mix honey and lime juice.
• Pour syrup over the fruit and mix. Mix well.
• Enjoy!
