Ingredients
  

Fruit base
  • 5 peaches ripe, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup watermelon cubed
Honey-lime dressing
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lime juice fresh
  • 1 tsp lime zest freshly grated
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Pit and slice the peaches, then add them to a large serving bowl with the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelon.
  2. Gently mix the fruit to combine so the peaches are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Make the honey-lime dressing
  1. Whisk the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Toss and chill
  1. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and toss gently until every piece is coated.
  2. Taste the salad and add more honey or lime juice as desired.
  3. Refrigerate the fruit salad for 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors mingle and the dressing lightly set on the fruit.
Finish
  1. Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

Notes

For the brightest flavor, use ripe peaches and chill only 20 minutes—too long can make the berries release extra juice. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; the fruit will soften but still tastes good. Freezing is not recommended because the texture of berries and watermelon changes. Dietary swap: for a no-sugar-added version, replace honey with maple syrup or a honey-like alternative and keep the lime measurements the same.
