To make a great fruit salad, pick the best seasonal fruits. In summer, strawberries, blueberries, and mangoes shine. In winter, think about citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits. Always look for ripe fruits. Ripe fruits taste better and are sweeter. For strawberries, search for bright red color and no white spots. Blueberries should be plump and firm. Always choose kiwi and mango that yield slightly to gentle pressure. You can change the sweetness of your salad. If you like it sweeter, add more honey. Start with the original two tablespoons. Taste the fruit salad and adjust if needed. Use less honey if you prefer a tart flavor. The lime juice adds a nice zing, balancing the sweetness. Remember, you can always add more honey, but it’s hard to take it out! This fruit salad fits many occasions. Serve it at brunch, picnics, or barbecues. It also makes a great dessert.

If you like heat, try a small amount of jalapeño. It gives a nice kick and contrasts with the sweet fruits. Just be careful, as a little goes a long way! If you need a vegan option, use agave nectar instead of honey. For a sugar-free salad, try using a sugar-free sweetener. This keeps it tasty without extra sugar. Enjoy every bite without worry!
