FRUIT COCKTAIL SALAD (4 Ingredient Fruit Salad Recipe)
Refreshing and sweet the summertime favorite is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of ripe seasonal produce at the farmers market including peaches and cantaloupe. To embrace the holiday spirit you can even show your patriotism by serving a red white and blue selection of fruits—perhaps strawberries or watermelon (which can be cut into all sorts of shapes even stars) bananas and blueberries. But no matter what produce you include in your special 4th of July fruit salad there are three extra ingredients worth adding to take it from good to great: lime honey and ginger.
Because no savory salad is complete without dressing why not make one for a sweet salad? When combined lime juice honey and grated ginger can be stirred together to create a zesty condiment that enhances the flavor and texture of the fruit bringing out its fresh flavors. Together the ingredients can add a touch of sweetness tartness and heat to the dish making every bite shine as brightly as a festive star. Luckily upgrading your fruit salad for the 4th of July with this simple dressing is easy.
To make a dressing that works best for the best fruit salad combine lime juice (plus a little zest for color and flavor) a little honey and some freshly grated ginger in a bowl and whisk together. You can also shake the ingredients in a Mason jar for a more thorough mess-free mix. Pour the dressing over the prepared salad before serving stirring to ensure every piece of fruit is evenly coated.
