The Minted Fresh Fruit Salad with Honey and Lime recipe is a tried and true recipe from the days of Cafe Laurie! It is one of the featured salads in the cookbook.
This salad is always a perfect addition to a summer gathering; what is better than a bowl of fresh, ripe summer fruit bursting with flavor.
This salad is simple but is enjoyed by all ages. It was a favorite at the cafe and home. There are many Honey and Lime Fruit Salad recipes on the internet and Pinterest, but with the addition of mint, which I think kicks it up a notch, this recipe is sure to want to make you go back for seconds and third servings.
How to Make Fruit Salad
First, with the fruit, you need to chop all the fruits with the exception of the blackberries and blueberries. Then, add all the fruit to a large mixing bowl.
Next, you will make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, mint, and lime juice.
Then you will mix the fruit with dressing by pouring the dressing over the fruit just before serving and mix to coat evenly. It is that easy!
Summer fruit salads are beautifully versatile. You can choose your favorite fruits or ones that you have on hand. That is why I love this recipe so much!
This Minted Fruit Salad with Honey and Mint would be a refreshing dessert on its own or spooned over vanilla ice cream. This recipe can be prepared in 30 minutes or less.
