Ingredients

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!

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

Perfect Summer Fruit Salad image

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

Tips:

Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: This will ensure that your fruit salad is bursting with flavor. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have blemishes.
Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to meld together.
Add some citrus juice: A squeeze of lemon, lime, or orange juice will help to brighten the flavors of the fruit and prevent them from browning.
Use fresh herbs: A few sprigs of mint, basil, or cilantro can add a refreshing touch to your fruit salad.
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup: If you find your fruit salad is a bit tart, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up.
