Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe
with Honey-Lime Dressing
Few dishes are as easy and welcome as a freshly prepared fruit salad recipe on the brunch table. This one is served with an easy sweet-tart fruit salad dressing made with honey, not sugar. Yay! Or try the Fresh Fruit Cups version (Macédoine) for an adult crowd.
Fresh Fruit Salad
with Honey-Lime Dressing12 cups fresh fruit in bite-size pieces Use any fruits you wish or select from among these good choices:
Strawberries, halved or quartered
Seedless grapes, whole
Cantaloupe and/or Honeydew melon balls
Apricots, seeded and quartered
Raspberries, whole
Cherries, whole
Bananas, sliced about 1/2-inch thickTip: Don't add the bananas until just before serving. 1 cup broken nuts (optional) "Broken" indicates smaller than whole, but larger than chopped; pieces. Combine the fruits in a large bowl. Gently stir in the nuts and the Honey-Lime Dressing, below.
Honey-Lime Dressing:
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime, grated
3/4 cup honey
Combine all the dressing ingredients and fold into the fruit salad. Makes about 16 3/4-cup servings.
Option:
Fresh Fruit Cups The addition of a liqueur, fruit brandy, or other spirit makes this a Macédoine of Fresh Fruit.
Cut the fruits a little smaller than above, less than bite-size. Dressing:
Mix 1/3 cup honey with the juice of 2 limes. Add 1/2 cup maraschino liqueur or 1/3 cup orange liqueur. Fold the dressing into the fruit mixture, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours. Serve in small individual dishes, "cups."
