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 Dressing

12 cups fresh fruit in bite-size pieces

Tip:

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.

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 and 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 individual dishes, "cups."

Makes about 16 3/4-cup servings.
