Recipe: Rainbow Fruit Salad
Fruit salad should be something you actually want to eat, rather than something that’s pushed to the side of a brunch spread or looked upon sadly when carried out for dessert. This one, featuring every color of the rainbow, is that and more.
A Fruit Salad That’s Far from Boring
All too often, fruit salad is disappointing. It ends up being a strange mix of fruit (what are you doing in there, mushy bananas?) that’s tossed together halfheartedly. That’s a shame because when done right, fruit salad is actually enjoyable.
The key is to choose fruits that play well together and toss them in dressing. Honey and lime juice make for a sweet and tangy dressing that coats every inch of the fruit salad. Finished with a sprinkling of chopped fresh mint, this is one colorful fruit salad you’ll be happy to enjoy.
