How to make tropical fruit salad
Begin by preparing your fruit. Always wash produce before cutting. Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces to make the salad easy to toss and eat. Place all the prepared fruit into a large bowl. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and lime juice. Drizzle the dressing over the fruit, gently toss to coat, and let the salad rest briefly so the flavors meld.
