A refreshing and vibrant Summer Fruit Salad featuring a mix of fresh strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwis, nectarines, bananas, and oranges tossed in a zesty honey citrus dressing. Perfect for a light snack, side dish, or healthy dessert during warm weather.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice

Fruit

  • 2 Cups Sliced Strawberries
  • 2 Cups Blueberries
  • 2 Cups Grapes (Cut in half)
  • 3 Kiwis (Sliced and cut into chunks)
  • 2 Nectarines or Peaches (Sliced)
  • 2 Bananas (Sliced)
  • 2 Oranges (Segmented and cut into chunks)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy dressing.
  2. Add the fruit: To the bowl with the dressing, add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, halved grapes, kiwi chunks, sliced nectarines or peaches, sliced bananas, and orange segments.
  3. Combine gently: Using a large spoon, gently stir the fruits until all pieces are evenly coated with the honey citrus dressing, taking care not to mash the softer fruits.
  4. Serve or chill: Enjoy the fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste or cover and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Best eaten within 3 days to maintain optimal freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor.
  • Bananas can brown quickly; add them last or just before serving if possible.
  • Chilling the salad enhances the flavors but avoid leaving it too long to prevent sogginess.
  • This salad can be customized with other seasonal fruits like mango, pineapple, or melon.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the honey is substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar.
