A fruit salad is easy to make and just as easy to ruin, so this one uses a short dressing of honey, lime and orange juice that keeps the colors bright and the fruit fresh for two days. Choose fruit that holds up well, such as berries, grapes, kiwi and pineapple, and leave out bananas and apples. Spooned into small cups, the salad is ready to drop into a lunchbox or onto a picnic blanket.
Instructions
- Whisk the honey, lime zest, lime juice and orange juice in a small bowl until the honey dissolves. If the honey is thick, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave first.
- Combine the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi and pineapple in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and fold gently with a large spoon so the berries do not bruise.
- Spoon the fruit into 6 cups or small jars and cover. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Pack with a cold pack for lunchboxes.
Tips
- Add soft or quickly browning fruit such as banana, apple or peach only just before serving, and toss it in extra lime juice.
- Swap in whatever is in season, such as mango, melon, oranges or cherries. Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
