This fruit salad is a combination of fresh berries and bananas and is perfectly sweet topped with a light honey lemon dressing.

Fruit is the perfect compliment to any meal. This Spinach Fruit Salad is light and delicious and this Autumn Apple Salad has great texture and crunch.

This salad comes together so easily. The fruit is drizzled with honey, lemon juice and poppy seeds and it is ready to serve.

What Kind of Fruit to Use in Fruit Salad

I change the fruit up depending on the season.’

Summer/Spring Fruit Salad. I love using a combination of berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and banana.

Fall/Winter Fruit Salad. Apples, pears, oranges, kiwi and grapes work well. At the holidays I love to add in some pomegranate seeds.

How to Make Fruit Salad

  • Wash your fruit, slice and assemble in a bowl. For this salad I use a combination of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and bananas.

Honey Lemon Dressing

For the dressing I used a simple yet delicious combination of lemon juice, honey and some poppy seeds. The dressing enhances the flavor of the fruit without overpowering it.

  • Drizzle the fruit with honey.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over the fruit and then toss to coat fruit with honey and juice.
  • Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Keep fruit salad chilled until ready to serve.

How to Keep Bananas From Turning Brown After Slicing.

Bananas begin to turn brown quickly after being sliced. Bananas contain high levels of chemicals that contain iron. They oxidize when they hit the air and cause the banana to turn brown.

The lemon juice that is added to the fruit as part of the dressing will halt the browning process.

    That little salad looks absolutely amazing. A little tough to make up here during winter, but sounds refreshing during the summer.
