Carrageenan Free Classic Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with color, this fruit salad is the kind of bowl that disappears fast at any gathering. Six different fruits — strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, and cantaloupe — come together for a range of textures and flavors that keeps every bite interesting. The real magic is the simple dressing: fresh lime juice, honey, and a little lime zest whisked together until smooth, then folded gently over all that fruit so every piece gets coated in something tangy and lightly sweet. Carrageenan, a thickening additive commonly found in pre-made fruit cups, flavored yogurt toppings, and store-bought dressings, has no place here — this recipe is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients with nothing hidden in the mix. Fresh mint scattered over the top just before serving adds a cool, aromatic finish that makes it feel genuinely special. It's the kind of dish that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
