Description
A vibrant and refreshing fruit salad made with seasonal fruits and a tangy honey-lime dressing. Perfect for picnics, snacks, or light meals, it celebrates the natural sweetness of summer produce with a balance of juicy, tart, and crisp textures.
Ingredients
1 pint cherry tomatoes (preferably heirloom varieties for color)
1 bunch seedless grapes (halved to reduce tartness)
4 cups watermelon cubes (seedless preferred)
1 1/2 cups strawberries (unsweetened, washed)
2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen, thawed)
2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
1 tsp minced ginger (optional for warmth)
Instructions
Wash and cut all fruits to size. Store separately until ready to combine.
Whisk lime juice, honey, and ginger in a mixing bowl until blended.
Add 3/4 of the dressing to the fruits. Toss gently to coat without mashing.
Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld and reduce fruit moisture.
Notes
Use room-temperature fruits for best texture; cold fruit absorbs dressing unevenly.
Chill dressing separately for 5 minutes before adding it.
Top with toasted coconut flakes for visual appeal and crunch.
Portion immediately after serving to avoid sogginess.
