- Just before serving, pour the dressing over the fruit. Toss lightly so all the fruit is combined.
Notes
-
- The fruit measurements are flexible. Add a bit more if you have it or a bit less of anything you'd like.
- When mixing the honey with the lemon juice, it may take a while for the honey to dissolve. Just let it sit for a bit and stir it every once in a while until it dissolves. The thicker the honey, the longer it will take to dissolve, but it will!
-
- Choose your favorite fruits and fruit that are in season.
-
- Large grapes can be halved. Smaller grapes can be left whole.
-
- Sometimes kiwi have a tougher core. If needed, remove the inner core after you've peeled and quarter it.
-
- Add the dressing as close to serving time as possible. The fruit will begin to release its juices once the dressing is added.
-
- To prepare ahead of time, combine all the fruit together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, add the dressing.
-
- If using bananas or raspberries, don't add until the very last minute. With the raspberries, sprinkle a few over the top of the finished salad and don't fold into the salad. Raspberries are so soft that they will easily fall apart if folded into the salad.
-
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
