Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit base
  • 5 peaches ripe, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup watermelon cubed
Honey-lime mint dressing
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lime juice fresh
  • 1 tsp lime zest fresh
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Pit and slice the peaches, then add them to a large serving bowl with the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelon.
  2. Make sure the fruit pieces are evenly sized so the dressing coats everything at once.
Make the honey-lime dressing
  1. Whisk the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla together until smooth and glossy.
Toss and chill
  1. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and toss gently until every piece looks coated, glistening, and evenly mixed.
  2. Taste the salad and add more honey or lime juice as desired, then toss once more to distribute.
  3. Refrigerate the fruit salad for 20 minutes before serving.
Serve
  1. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves so the aroma stays bright.

Notes

For the best texture, chill only until the fruit tastes refreshed (about 20 minutes) and avoid stirring aggressively after dressing so raspberries and strawberries don’t break down. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; the fruit will soften slightly. No freezing recommended. If you want a lighter option, swap honey for maple syrup (use the same amount) to keep the same honey-lime flavor profile.
