Ingredients
2 cups watermelon, scooped into balls or cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups pineapple, cut into 1-inch pieces
1.5 cups strawberries, sliced
2 bananas, sliced
1 cup canned mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup green grapes, halved
1 cup red grapes, halved
2 kiwis, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup blueberries
Juice of 2 large limes
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon poppyseeds
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all fruit—slice, halve, or cut into bite-sized pieces as needed.
- Add the prepared fruit to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until fully combined. Microwave for 10 seconds to help dissolve the honey if needed.
- Stir in the poppyseeds into the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
- Refrigerate for a few hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Add fresh mint or basil for a refreshing twist.
Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan version.
Add mango, papaya, or coconut flakes for a tropical variation.
Top with chopped nuts for extra crunch just before serving.
Stir before serving each time for best texture.
