Servings: 6
Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries
- 1 cup chopped pineapple
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
Honey Lime Dressing
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Grande Marnier, optional *see notes
Instructions
Fruit Salad
- Wash all of the fruit. Cut the grapes in half and hull the strawberries and cut them into smaller bite sized pieces.
- Add all fruit into a large serving bowl, preferably one with a lid if taking to a party.
Honey Lime Dressing
- Wash lime and zest with microplane before juicing. Zest entire lime being careful to only remove the top portion of peel and stopping when you reach the white pith part which would be bitter. Add zest to a small bowl, reserving a teaspoon to garnish on top of salad.
- Add the lime zest, lime juice, honey and Grand Marnier (if using) to a small bowl and whisk together until the honey dissolves.
- Pour the mixture over the fruit and gently toss with a spoon to cover all of the fruit.
- Serve right away or refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
Grand Marnier is an orange flavored liqueur that enhances the citrus flavor of the lime juice and zest. This is completely optional, especially if making this recipe for a function with kids. You can add an additional tablespoon of lime juice if omitting the Grand Marnier.
