Honey and Lime Fruit Salad

Since I'm not quite sure what to post today, I figured I could share a recipe with all of you.  It's for a really yummy fruit salad with a honey lime dressing on it.  I made this for the first time last semester and realized it's a pretty healthy recipe

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 kiwis, sliced
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups cantaloupe, cubed
  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups blueberries
Mix the honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
Toss all of the fruit with the honey and lime dressing.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before eating.

Serve over light whipped cream, yogurt, or by itself!  Serves 6.

  1. Thanks for the yummy recipe. Here's a tip I'll pass on: try freezing grapes. Just wash em and pitch em in the freezer. Once they're frozen, they are like yummy little popsicles, and you can eat a whole gob of them without getting lots of calories. They also take a while to eat, and you got lots of texture and crunch along with the taste. I love to snack while watching TV, and these really fill the bill.
