Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fresh strawberries (sliced and halved (about 3 cups))
1 pound diced fresh pineapple (about 3 cups)
1 pint fresh blueberries (about 2 cups)
5 kiwi fruit (peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups))
2 cups seedless red grapes
1 large banana* (peeled and cut into bite sized pieces (about 1 cup))
Chopped fresh mint (optional)
zest of 1/2 medium orange
juice of 1/2 the same medium orange (about 3 tablespoons)
zest of 1 small lime (or 1/2 small lemon)
juice of the same 1 small lime (or 1/2 small lemon)
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • If you will not be serving the fruit salad right away, place all of the fruit except the banana in a large serving bowl: strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes.
  • In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing: orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, honey, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds.
  • Pour the dressing over the fruit and with a large spoon, toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the juices to marry (1 hour is even better). Just before serving, stir in the banana. Sprinkle with fresh mint. Enjoy!
