Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by thoroughly washing the strawberries, grapes, and blueberries under cold running water. For the pineapple, use a sharp knife to peel and cut it into bite-sized chunks. Next, peel the mandarin oranges and separate them into segments, then slice the mango into cubes.
  2. Once all the fruits are washed and prepared, combine them in a large mixing bowl. Cut each fruit into consistent bite-sized pieces to ensure a delightful balance in every mouthful.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together one tablespoon of lime zest, a quarter cup of fresh lime juice, and two tablespoons of honey until smooth and well combined.
  4. Drizzle the honey lime dressing generously over your beautiful fruit salad. Gently toss the mixture until all the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Your Classic Fruit Salad is ready to shine! Serve it immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container if you plan to enjoy it later.
