Ingredients
Fruit Salad Ingredients:
- 2 lbs strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered if large
- 1 lb grapes, any color, halved
- 6 clementines, peeled well and separated into sections
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 to 2 apples, cored, cut into sixths and sliced into 1/4" thick pieces
- 1 banana, sliced
Orange Poppyseed Dressing:
- 4 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed from 1 large or 2 smaller lemons
- 1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed from 1 medium orange
- 1/2 to 1 tsp poppy seeds
Optional Garnish:
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Squeeze juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Stir together syrup ingredients, mixing until honey is completely dissolved into the syrup.
- Rinse and slice fruit in the order that it is listed. Don't slice your apples or bananas until you're ready to add the syrup since the lemon in the syrup will keep them from browning.
- Drizzle syrup over the fruit and toss to evenly coat the fruit with syrup.
Notes
Fruit Salad Variations: This recipe is easy to adjust with what’s in season. Try adding pineapple, kiwi, mango, raspberries, blackberries, or fresh peaches. For the best texture, use a mix of firm fruit and juicy fruit, and avoid anything overly ripe since it can get soft after tossing with the syrup.
