Tart Summer Salad
Ingredients:
Fruits:
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups red plums, pitted and sliced
- 2 cups pineapple, chopped
- 2 cups Honeycrisp apples, chopped (with skin on)
- 2 cups dragon fruit, diced
Dressing:
- 1–2 limes, juiced (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Manuka Doctor honey
Directions:
Prepare the Fruit
- Strawberries: Rinse and remove the green tops, slice in halves or quarters depending on size.
- Red Plums: Rinse well, slice in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks.
- Pineapple: If using fresh, peel, core, and chop into small chunks (about ½ inch). If using canned, drain well.
- Honeycrisp Apples: Rinse and leave the skin on for color and crunch. Core and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Optional: Toss in a small amount of lime juice immediately after cutting to prevent browning.
- Dragon Fruit: Cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Dice into cubes.
Make the Lime-Honey Dressing
- Squeeze the juice from 1–2 limes (start with 1, add more if you like it extra tart).
- Add 1 tablespoon Manuka Doctor honey.
- Whisk or shake until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Salad:
- Add all the prepared fruits to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lime-honey dressing evenly over the fruit.
- Gently toss to coat without crushing the more delicate pieces (like dragon fruit or strawberries).
- Chill & Serve!
