Instructions
DRESSING
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Set aside.
- Cut the passion fruits in half, scoop out the flesh and seeds, and place them in the mesh sieve.2 fresh passion fruits1
- Press the seeds and flesh through the sieve to separate the juice from the seeds and flesh. You will have about 2 Tablespoons (30mL) of juice. You can discard the seeds and flesh. Set the juice aside.
- Juice the lime. You will have about 2 Tablespoons (30mL) of lime juice. Add this juice to the passion fruit juice and stir to combine.1 lime
- Add the honey to the juice mixture then stir, shake (with a lid), or whisk to thoroughly combine the dressing. Set aside.1 Tablespoon (21g) honey
FRUIT SALAD
- Add the diced mangoes, halved strawberries, halved kiwis, and blueberries to a large bowl.2 large mangoes, 8 large strawberries, 3 kiwis, 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Pour the passion fruit dressing over the fruit, then carefully stir everything until the fruit is evenly mixed and coated in dressing. Fruit salad is ready to eat, but for best results, chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Though not ideal, fruit salad can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator or use frozen for smoothies.
- Make ahead: you can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance. Store covered tightly in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. I do not recommend preparing the fruit more than 1 day in advance.
Notes
- Fresh passion fruit: if these are out of season for you, you can use frozen passion fruit pulp from the freezer section of your grocery store. Avoid using anything with added sweetener (like you'd find in the cocktail section).
- Fresh fruit: fresh fruit is ideal here, as frozen fruit tends to get slightly mushy when thawed. Feel free to use pre-cut fresh fruit to save yourself some time.
- Use fruits of your choice: this recipe is just a guide! You can use whatever fruit you prefer in this fruit salad. I like the colors of the fruits I chose, and I like leaning into the tropical flavor of the passion fruit with the mango.
- How to serve: we ate this fruit salad on ice cream, cottage cheese, and with homemade whipped cream. It would also make a great topping for crepes or angel food cake.
