Instructions

  1. Wash, peel (if needed), and cut all fruits into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime or lemon juice, and optional citrus zest or liqueur.

Notes

  • Add toasted coconut flakes, sliced almonds, or pepitas for crunch.
  • Mix in tropical fruits like mango, banana, or papaya for variety.
  • Fold in a swirl of Greek yogurt for a brunch-ready dish.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and stir gently before serving.
  • Cut fruit ahead and add dressing shortly before serving to maintain texture.
