Late Summer Fruit Salad Recipe
Summer Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 4-6 cups Assorted Fruits I like to use strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pineapple, apples, bananas, blackberries. Anything in season is perfect.
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1-2 tbsp honey This depends on how sweet you want the dressing
- 1 tbsp chopped basil or mint You can add more if you choose
Instructions
- This fruit salad is easy to make and easy to change up depending on what fruits you prefer.
- I like to use fruits that are in season so depending on what season you are in, the fruit options may change. Since this is a late fruit summer salad, there are a lot of options. Cut your fruits up and put them all in a large bowl.
- MIx the lime juice and honey together in a small bowl and pour it over the top of your fruit. Add your chopped basil and mint and mix the entire thing together. You dont need a lot of dressing as the dressing will draw out the juices in the fruit and make it more juicy.
- I dont recommend making more than you plan to eat as it will start to wilt especially if you use bananas and apples, you will have browning of the fruit. I would recommend making this 15 minutes before serving.
- You can store leftovers in the fridge but try to eat it within a day.
Fruits You Can Use
The flavors of this late summer fruit salad all go so well together. This fruit salad recipe is super easy to make and the taste is so refreshing. All you have to do is toss your fruit with the easy dressing and you have an amazing fresh fruit salad.

This is the best fruit salad with so many ways to customize it to your preferred flavors.
