    1. Serve right away or let marinate in the refrigerator for up to an hour.

    Hint: The bananas are usually the first to “turn” but the dressing acts as a preserve so it helps keep the bananas from turning brown so fast!

    Substitutions/Variations

    This recipe is very forgiving so feel free to add in or swap out any fruit to your liking! Here are a few of my favorite fruits to add to this easy fruit salad recipe!

    • Raspberries & Blackberries – There’s nothing better than a combination of fresh raspberries and blackberries! They make a great addition to this fresh fruit salad!
    • Clementines – Clementines are easy to peel and don’t need to be cut which is a great (less messy) swap for oranges! Besides, mandarin oranges are just so cute!!
    • Peaches – Adding peaches to this salad would be perfect for a summer cookout! Peaches are ripe and ready to eat during the summertime which is the perfect time to enjoy them!
    • Poppy Seeds- Feel free to add 1-2tbsp of poppy seeds to the honey lime dressing! Poppy seeds add texture and taste delicious topped on fruit salad!
    • Lime Zest or Lemon Zest – For extra flair, zest lime or lemon on top!

    Top tip

    The honey acts as a “sweetener” to help offset fruits that may be a bit tart. But if you find that the fruit salad is still tart, you can mix in 1 teaspoon of brown sugar with an additional teaspoon of orange juice and pour/stir in with fruit salad to add a touch more sweetness.

    How do you store fruit salad?

    You can store this honey lime fruit salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you plan on storing your fruit salad, I would recommend omitting the bananas as they will get brown if stored for days.

    What are the best fruits to mix together?

    For best results for this honey lime fruit salad recipe, you should mix fruits with different colors and textures but avoid mixing fruits that are too acidic (like grapefruits). Fresh strawberries, pineapple, red grapes, fresh blueberries, mandarin oranges, and other fresh/in season fruit makes the best fruit salad!

      This looks so good, will have to try it! Gotta share my favorite fruit salad hack for last minute get-togethers: I buy a catering size fruit tray at Chick-fil-A then stir in honey and lime juice. The fruit is already chilled so after a couple hours in the fridge it’s good to go!
