-
Whisk the honey, lime juice, lime zest and mint together in a small bowl until the honey has dissolved.
-
Put the pineapple, grapes, orange segments with any juice, and kiwi in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss gently.
-
Add the strawberries and blueberries and fold them in gently, so that they do not crush.
-
Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Chef’s Tips
- Add the strawberries and blueberries last, and fold instead of stirring. Soft berries bruise and bleed into the rest.
- Serve within 2 hours of making it. After that the fruit softens and releases its juice, and the salad turns watery.
- Cut the fruit into similar bite-sized pieces. Every spoonful should have a little of everything.
Common Substitutions & Variations
- Lemon is the everyday swap for lime in this kind of dish — the acidity plays the same role even though the flavour is not identical.
Pairing Suggestions
- Greek yoghurt
- Pancakes
- Vanilla ice cream
Storage & Reheating
Keep covered in the fridge up to 2 days, though it softens and releases juice as it stands. Add sliced banana or apple just before serving, since they brown.
