We had dinner with friends recently and were served this deliciously yummy fruit salad!  I was in love at first bite.  The combination of fresh fruit with a bit of honey and lime brings a smile to your face!  Thanks Paula!

Ingredients

·         1 lb fresh strawberries , diced

·         1 lb fresh pineapple , diced

·         12 oz fresh blueberries

·         12 oz red (or white) grapes , diced into halves

·         4 kiwis , peeled and diced

·         1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges in juice, drained well 

·         2 ripe bananas, sliced (optional; but add just prior to serving)

Honey Lime Dressing

·         1/4 cup honey

·         2 tsp lime zest (zest of 2 medium limes)

·         1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

1.     Add all fruit (except bananas) to a large mixing bowl. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together they honey, lime zest and lime juice. Pour over fruit just before serving and toss to evenly coat (as it sits for a few minutes the juices will gather at the bottom, so toss again before plating).

2.    *Add bananas at the last minute so that they don't turn brown
