Fruit Salad With Honey Ginger 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:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Cover dressing and fruit separately and chill until ready to serve, up to 6 hours.
• Mix dressing into fruit. Let stand 15 minutes to blend flavors.

Steps:

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

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:

• WHISK together dressing ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
• COMBINE fruit in large bowl. Pour dressing, to taste, over fruit. Toss gently to coat. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. Place nectarines, grapes and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with honey mixture; stir gently. Refrigerate, covered, 1-2 hours. For topping, mix mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Serve fruit salad with topping, pistachios and additional mint leaves.

Steps:

• Wash and prepare all the fruit and place in to a large bowl.
• Zest the lime and place the zest into a small bowl.
• Mince basil leaves and add to the lime zest.
• Add the honey, the juice of both limes, and the Splenda to the mixture.
• Whisk together and pour over the fruit.
• Mix lightly and refrigerate at least an hour before serving, to allow the flavors to meld.

Steps:

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine cornstarch and lime juice until smooth. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 20 seconds; stir. Cook 15 seconds longer; stir. Stir in honey and poppy seeds., In a large bowl, combine the apples, pears and grapes. Pour dressing over fruit; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Steps:

• Slice the pomegranate in half crosswise. Hold the pomegranate cut side down over a medium bowl and tap the back with a wooden spoon to release the seeds. Rinse and drain.
• Add the apples, pears, clementines, kiwis, and pomegranate seeds to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lime juice and honey and stir until incorporated.
• Drizzle the dressing over fruit and gently toss until well coated.
• Serve chilled.
• Enjoy!
