Honey-Lime Fruit Salad

I kinda just whipped this up today because I had a giant bounty of fruit from the farmer’s market that I wanted to get a head start on.  I threw together some ingredients on a whim, and usually I’d just throw the whole thing in the fridge to love on itself to get all tasty.  But today I thought, “Why don’t I use some of that eight dollar raw hibiscus honey the husband just had to have?”.  I grabbed a lime and a Microplane and set to work on my task.

  • 2 cups watermelon balls
  • 1 gala apple, diced small
  • 1 mango, peeled and cut into chunks
  • Juice of one lime, divided
  • Zest of one lime
  • 2 tablespoons raw hibiscus honey (or whatever variety you have on hand)

Toss the apple chunks in half of the lime juice to prevent oxidation.  Toss with mango and melon in a medium sized bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and remaining lime juice with a fork until fully combined.  Pour over fruit mixture.  Sprinkle with lime zest.  Toss to coat.  Serves 2-4.
