Ingredients

Sweet honey lime dressing

Fruits

  • 2 Oranges Peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup Mangoes Peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 Apples Washed, Patted dry, Cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 cups Strawberries Washed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup Pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup Grapes Washed, Patted dry, Cut lengthwise
  • 1-2 tablespoon Shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add honey, orange juice, lime juice, vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add all the fruits and shredded coconut.
  • Use a big spoon to mix everything together until all the fruits are coated in the dressing.
  • Chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop further. You can chill up to 1 hour if you prefer a cold salad like me.
  • Mix again. Be sure to get to the bottom of the bowl because the juices and dressing all pool there. Enjoy.

Notes

  • Don't skip on chilling this salad because that allows the flavors to all deepen. Also, I think it tastes best when served cold. 
  • For a sweeter salad, you can add more honey or maple syrup. 
  • If you don't like coconut, you can omit it. 
  • For some crunch, you can top off with chopped pecans or walnuts just prior to serving. You can even mix in some poppy seeds in the dressing, if you like. 
  • I didn't add lime zest or orange zest today but 1 teaspoon of each will add a lot of flavor and aroma. 
  • Add other extracts for a different flavor.
  • Read additional tips and variations above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 1 day. I don't recommend freezing since fresh fruits don't thaw well.
