Ingredients
Fruit
- 16 oz Strawberries (cleaned and halved)
- 1 pint Blueberries (rinsed)
- 3 Bananas (sliced in thick chunks)
Honey Lime Glaze
- 1/8 cup Honey
- 1 Lime (juiced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and cut all your fruit, halving the strawberries and slicing the bananas into thick chunks. Rinse the blueberries thoroughly to remove any debris.
- Combine the Fruit: Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl, ready for the honey-lime glaze.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and freshly squeezed lime juice until smooth and well combined to create a tangy-sweet dressing.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the honey lime glaze evenly over the fruit mixture, then gently stir the salad to lightly coat all the fruit pieces with the glaze.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the fruit salad immediately to enjoy its freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate for up to a few hours before serving for a chilled treat.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Refrigerate covered to maintain freshness if not serving immediately.
- Add a handful of chopped mint leaves or fresh basil for an herbal twist.
- Adjust the honey amount to taste depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
