Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit
  • 4 ripe peaches Peeled and sliced.
  • 2 cup strawberries Hulled and halved.
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh cherries Pitted.
Honey-Lime Dressing
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
Garnish
  • 1 fresh mint leaves For garnish.

Method
 

Assemble the fruit
  1. Add the sliced peaches, halved strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and pitted cherries to a large bowl.
  2. Gently toss the fruit so the colors are evenly distributed in the bowl.
Make the honey-lime dressing
  1. Whisk the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest together until smooth and combined.
  2. Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently until every piece is lightly coated.
Macerate and serve
  1. Let the bowl sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to macerate the fruit in the dressing.
  2. Top with fresh mint leaves and serve right away for the best texture on the day it's made.

Notes

For the juiciest salad, slice peaches just before assembling and keep berries cold until mixing. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; the fruit will continue to release juices. Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes. For a lighter option, reduce honey to 2 tablespoons and increase lime juice by 1 tablespoon for a brighter, less-sweet honey-lime dressing.
