Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peaches
  • 5 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
Blueberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
Raspberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
Strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
Watermelon
  • 1 cup watermelon, cubed
Honey-Lime Dressing
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish
  • 1 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

Mix the fruit
  1. Slice peaches and add to a large serving bowl along with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelon. Toss lightly so the fruit is evenly distributed and ready for dressing.
Make the honey-lime dressing
  1. Whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla until smooth. Stop when the mixture looks glossy and fully combined.
Dress and chill
  1. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss until every piece is lightly coated. The fruit should look glistening with a thin, even sheen.
  2. Taste and add more honey or lime juice as desired. Adjust until the flavor balances sweet honey with bright lime.
  3. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Cover to prevent drying and keep the bowl cold.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving. Scatter the leaves on top so the salad looks fresh and fragrant.

Notes

For the best texture, slice peaches and hull strawberries right before mixing, then toss gently—overmixing can bruise berries. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; the dressing helps the fruit stay juicy but berries may soften slightly. Freezing is not recommended for this fresh fruit salad. For a lighter version, use agave or a reduced amount of honey and keep the same lime juice for a bright, less-sweet honey-lime fruit salad.
