Servings: (about 1 heaping cup per serving)

Ingredients

For the Fruit

1 cup strawberries , washed and dried, hulled and quartered
1 cup seedless green grapes , washed and dried, halved crosswise
1 large kiwi , peeled, quartered lengthwise then cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces
1 medium banana , sliced into 1/2-inch thick coins

For the Dressing

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

Place all the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
Drizzle dressing over the fruit; gently toss to combine and coat.
Serve right away or cover and chill for later.
NOTE: This salad is best after chilling and soaking in the juices for a couple hours. (If not enjoying immediately, wait to add the banana slices so they don’t break down and get mushy, and give the salad a gentle mix right before serving to redistribute the accumulated juices at the bottom of the bowl.)
