Easy Fruit Salad Dressing
Made with freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and fresh mint leaves, my fruit salad dressing enhances the natural sweetness of fruit salad by adding to the flavor without overpowering it! It’s so easy to make and takes only 10 minutes to prepare.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 6 limes, juiced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh mint
Instructions
- Juice the limes by rolling them lightly on the table, cutting them in half, and juicing them either by hand or a lime juicer.
- Wash and chop the fresh mint.
- Combine all of the ingredients.
- Use 2–4 tablespoons of dressing per pound of fruit, and toss gently with serving spoons. Adjust the amount as needed to suit your taste.
Notes
- My recipe yields 1/2 cup of dressing and works great with about 4-6 cups of fresh fruit.
- Roll the limes on the counter with your hand for about 10 seconds before juicing. This softens the pulp, making it easier to extract the juice.
- I used 6 limes in this recipe to get about ½ cup of juice, but the exact number needed may vary based on the size of the limes and how much juice is in each one.
- Chill the fruit for a few minutes after adding the dressing. This allows all the flavors to combine beautifully!
- Don’t skip the herbs! The mint adds some subtle flavor while also adding an eye-catching pop of green to contrast the bright colored fruits.
- Don't pour the dressing over the fruit until you're ready to serve the fruit salad. This will keep the fruit as fresh as possible. 20-30 minutes before is perfect.
