Fruit Salad Recipes

Fruit Salad is one of my favorite side dishes. And at any given time of year I usually have a lot of fruit on hand so when I have people over I’ll usually throw together some sort of fruit salad. Here’s my list of go-to fruit salads:

Honey Lime Rainbow Fruit Salad Berry Cheesecake Fruit Salad Melon Pineapple Fruit Salad Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Creamy Cinnamon Apple Walnut Fruit Salad Creamy Grape Fruit Salad And now we’ve got this super delicious Berry Fruit Salad with Honey Balsamic Dressing to add to this list!

Ingredients for this Fruit Salad

Fresh berries; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries Balsamic vinegar Honey Sugar Mint for garnish (optional) Sweet ricotta topping (optional)

How to Make this Fruit Salad

First you’ll whisk together the balsamic vinegar and sugar, then whisk in honey. Place fruit in a large bowl then pour dressing over top.

Toss to coat and preferably let rest 15 minutes in the refrigerator for flavors to meld. Serve in individual bowls or cups topped with sweet whipped ricotta topping if desired and garnish with mint.

Fruit Salad Dressing

For this fruit salad I chose to go with a Honey Balsamic Dressing because I love the way it compliments berries. Just think about the last time you had strawberries with a balsamic reduction, it’s the same flavor idea here but with lots of berries. It’s so good! If you don’t have time to let the dressing and berries rest together you can serve it right away. I just liked it a little better when the fruit had softened up a little and the flavors came together just a tad more.

Tips for this Recipe

Make this fruit salad when berries are in season. The best tasting berries will yield the best tasting fruit salad. If you don’t want to buy all 4 kinds of berries then use at least two just up the amount (and I’d make one of those two strawberries). Use chilled berries. If they’re garden picked or from the farmers market be sure to chill them first, a fruit salad is always better cold.
