A vibrant and refreshing fruit salad featuring a mix of colorful fruits tossed in a zesty honey lime poppy seed dressing. Perfect for quick snacks, brunches, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved (seedless preferred)
  • 1 cup mango, diced (optional)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or mild vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and quarter the strawberries. Peel and slice the kiwi. Halve the grapes and dice the apple and mango. Cut pieces roughly the same size for even bites. Toss all the fruit gently into a mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest (if using), poppy seeds, and oil until the honey dissolves and the dressing looks smooth and slightly glossy.
  3. Pour the honey lime poppy seed dressing over the fruit. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all pieces without bruising the fruit.
  4. Serve immediately or chill the salad for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld. Give it one last gentle toss before serving.

Notes

Add dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Be gentle when tossing to avoid bruising fruit. Poppy seeds add subtle crunch and texture. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
