Stacey – May 22, 2012 – 17 Comments

Jump to Recipe Save Recipe

Sometimes the most simple recipes are the best ones.  This is no exception.  This simple fruit salad can be made with 10 to 12 cups of any of your favorite fruit.  It’s a great breakfast and snack and pairs well as a side with any meal also.  The sweet but tart dressing is the perfect complement with any fruit.

Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 cups of assorted fruit

 for instance:
2 apricots, sliced (about 1 ½ cups)
3 kiwi, peeled and sliced (about 1 cup)
¼ honeydew melon (about 2 cups chopped)
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 2 cups sliced)
2 cups blackberries
2 cups red and green seedless grapes
1 ½ cups blueberries

  • juice of two limes (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint (8 to 10 large leaves)

 Instructions

  1. In a large plastic or glass bowl, combine the fruit.  Refrigerate.
  2. In a small bowl whisk the lime juice, honey, and mint together.  Drizzle over fruit and toss lightly when ready to serve.  Keep chilled.

      It depends on the serving size. It would say 4 to 6 generous portions.

    Hey there! Thanks a lot for the exceptional post. Perfectly timed information and just like what I’m seeking a
    very long time. Lucky to locate this and I will be going to discuss
    it on some social networks platforms. I’ve bookmarked this too for future reference as well.
    Carry on with the great work!

    Stacey,

    I believe this must be a “Southern thang”. My mother wouldn’t think of sitting down to a special meal without having a fruit salad. I did a post about our “Simple Fruit Salad” tradition and several readers commented that is was a tradition in their Southern families, too. I made an orange juice and honey dressing very similar to yours. Nicely done!
