Honey Citrus Salad

Honey Citrus Salad

You can’t beat having fresh fruit available during the summer. It is one of the easiest snacks to grab on the go especially with the abundance of fresh fruit markets available during the summer months.  A fruit salad is an easy “go-to” treat to bring with for any summer party or even to keep on hand in your home!  The following recipe is super easy and quick to put together for those last minute parties or even for a snack for yourself. The dressing is easy to make and we keep it on hand in our refrigerator for a few days at a time since it keeps pretty well. I’m sure it would last longer than a few days but we’ve never made it past a week without running out!  All we have to do is grab a few handfuls of fruit and toss them with the dressing and you’re good to go! Now quick note- if you do not eat all of the salad in the first two days, things tend to get mushy and start to spoil. That is why we keep the dressing on hand and add it to fresh fruit as we need it!

Dressing:

• 3/4 cup honey
• zest of two limes
• juice of two limes

Combine ingredients and mix well.  You can double this easily and save some for another day!

Salad

• 2 cups strawberries- hulled & halved
• 1 cup pineapple diced
• 2 kiwis- sliced and quartered
• 1 pint blueberries
• 1 pint raspberries
• mandarin oranges 12 oz

Combine fruit and toss with dressing. Add dressing slowly, making sure to cover fruit. If you add too much it will pool at the bottom of the bowl so be careful. Make sure to toss fruit before serving to allow juices to evenly disperse.

Enjoy!
