Notes
I used fresh fruit in this recipe.Olive oil is used because it will smooth out the dressing and make it easier to coat the fruit. You will taste some hints of the oil. Omit it if you wish.Lime zest is used to amplify the lime flavor. I recommend you start with a small amount of zest, taste the dressing, and then continue to add and build more in order to ensure the dressing suits your taste.Feel free to add more dressing to the salad to suit your taste and desired texture.You can use any of your favorite fruit in this salad.Keep in mind some fruits, such as bananas and apples, tend to brown quickly when cut and exposed to air. Because the fruit is served with dressing, the longer you take to eat it, the more risk you have the fruit will get soggy. I like to drain excess dressing for this reason. Once you coat the fruit in dressing and refrigerate for 30 minutes, it will soak up the honey lime flavor.
