Description
A Honey-Lime Fruit Salad with Mint is a delightful mix of fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwis, pineapple, blueberries, and grapes, tossed in a simple yet flavorful dressing made from honey, lime juice, and optional lime zest. The addition of fresh mint leaves elevates the dish, adding a cooling, aromatic touch that complements the natural sweetness of the fruits. This fruit salad is not only healthy and refreshing but also incredibly versatile, fitting seamlessly into breakfast spreads, potlucks, or even as a palate cleanser after a heavy meal. It’s naturally gluten-free, vegan-friendly (if using agave instead of honey), and packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
