I love a good fruit salad, who doesn’t? You know, the type of salad that is filled with this season’s best fruits, picked at their peak, and speaks for itself in every bite. Ah yes, we are in the peak of blueberry and peach season and I’m loving it. I will tell you right now this fruit salad is a winner. Tossed in a light sauce of freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, mint, and a touch of brown sugar. Just enough to bring out the natural sugars in the fruit without being overwhelming it yet allowing the mint to compliment each fruit element. The key is to use fresh ripe fruit. Under ripe or overly ripe will kill it. And if you must, canned fruit such as mandarin orange wedges or even peaches can be used, but fresh is truly best.
This salad would be perfect for breakfast, brunch, potluck, or bridal/baby shower. My family and friends love this fruit salad and it is one of the first dishes to disappear at our family gatherings. I hope you will too. Enjoy!

There’s nothing more fresh than a bowl of summer fruit! I love the mint and lime combo with honey for a drizzle! So refreshing!
Beautiful! I have made a similar fruit salad with honey, mint, and lime for the dressing. Such a refreshing combination!
What a delicious summery fruit salad. I love the brown sugar, lime and mint dressing…yum!
I saw this on TS and FG and the freshness & beauty hit me! It’s gorgeous!! The dresing seems to fit in so perfectly!
That is one gorgeous photo.
The photograph of the fruit leaves me wanting it now. It is so cool and refreshing and we had lasagne for dinner. The fruit with that lovely dressing would be perfect, right now.
Alice, what a magnificent fruit salad. I especialy love the honey mint lime dressing. I can taste it now. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
i tried this the other day and look forward to preparing it again today for lunch. instead of using brown sugar i use stevia for a lower-glycemic, equally delicious salad.
Alice, this was yummy. I should have made more. Thanks for sharing this simple and easy dressing! Absolutely stunning!
