On The Menu: Fresh Fruit Salad With Honey Lime Dressing

On The Menu: Fresh Fruit Salad With Honey Lime Dressing
We have been eating a lot cleaner lately and as a result I have been relying on fruit for a lot of my snacks and desserts. This fruit salad is easy to modify by using whatever fruit you like. I made my salad with my favorites. The honey lime dressing was delicious and made this fruit salad seem more like a decadent dessert.


Ingredients:
1 lb Strawberries
3 cups Pineapple
1 cup Mandarin Oranges (packed in their own juice but drained)
1 cup Green Grapes
2 cup Red Grapes
3 Kiwis
2 Limes
1/3 cup Honey

Directions:
1. Clean all fruit and cut it into bite size pieces.
2. In a large bowl mix together all of the clean fruit.
3. Make the dressing by mixing together the zest of one lime, the juice of two limes, and the honey.
4. Toss the fruit with the dressing.
5. Chill.

On the Menu: Simple Fruit Salad
I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and I typically like to keep the way I eat them very simple. Instant vanilla pudding gives this fruit salad a little pizzazz that requires basically no effort. I like to let mine chill a little after mixing in the pudding so the fruit gets juicy.

Ingredients:
1 pineapple cubed
1 pint blue berries
1 pound strawberries, halved or quartered depending on size
1 1/2 cups grapes
3-4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding

Directions:
1. Clean fruit and place in large serving bowl.
2. Sprinkle with pudding.
3. Gently stir.
4. May be served immediately or chill in refrigerator overnight.
