Easy Fruit Salad

Nutritious and easy to prepare, this colorful fruit salad combines ripe strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi and pineapple chunks with a zesty lime and poppy seed dressing. It’s a refreshing summertime dish perfect for brunch, picnics, parties and cookouts.

Going berry picking is such a quintessential summertime activity, but what happens when you get home and have numerous pounds of berries sitting in the kitchen waiting to be used? You find yourself eating them by the handful while frantically scanning Pinterest for new recipes to try before the berries get all wrinkly and start to mold. It happens fast, doesn’t it?

Sometimes a big bowl of nature’s goodness is all you need for dessert… especially during the summer months. Fruit salad is quite simple to make, but it’s such a delicious (and healthy) way to end a summer meal.

Plus, you have to admit the rainbow of colors is quite beautiful.

Completely unadulterated fresh fruit salad would typically be my go-to, but the maple sweetened, lime poppy seed dressing lime I added to the fruit salad I’m sharing today enhances the flavor of the fruit, without being over-the-top sweet. It also makes the salad feel fancy enough to serve guests for a potluck, picnic, or party.

I actually took it to my nephew’s 3rd birthday party a few weeks ago and it was a big hit with the adults and all the kiddos. Definitely a crowd pleaser!
