Ridiculously Easy Summer Fresh Fruit Salad with a Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
When summer fruits are at their peak in freshness, make this simple fruit salad. The lemon poppy seed dressing really brings out the bright and sweet flavors of the fruit. It's so simple, yet so good!
Ingredients
- 1 large pineapple cut into bite-size chunks
- 2 pounds strawberries rinsed, hulled and cut into quarters or bite size pieces
- 4 large kiwis slice the kiwi in half, and use a spoon to remove the fruit from the peel. Cut into bite-sized cubes,
- 1 large lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 banana sliced (optional); my favorite
Instructions
- Combine all the prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle lemon juice over fruit. Sprinkle the sugar and poppy seeds over and then stir gently to combine.Serve within a few hours. This fruit salad does not keep well overnight, as the strawberries become mushy.NOTE: Add the sliced bananas right before serving, so they don't turn brown or become mushy.
Notes
Why is watermelon missing? Because the fruit would overpower the flavor of the salad!
