# How To Make It:

02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until well blended.
03 - Pour the honey-lime dressing over the combined fruits and gently toss to coat every piece evenly.
04 - Refrigerate the salad for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
05 - Transfer to serving bowls and serve cold.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey lime dressing transforms ordinary fruit into something that tastes like it came from a fancy brunch spot.
- It takes twenty minutes from cutting board to table, which means you can pull it together while guests are still settling in.
02 -
- Toss the dressing no more than thirty minutes before serving or the fruits will start weeping and you will end up with soup at the bottom of the bowl.
- Taste your honey before using it, because a strong buckwheat honey will hijack the entire flavor profile and fight with the lime.
03 -
- Dry all your fruit thoroughly after washing, because excess water dilutes the dressing and prevents it from clinging to each piece.
- Reserve a small pinch of lime zest to sprinkle over the finished bowl for a visual pop that signals freshness before anyone even takes a bite.
