Citric Acid Free Classic Fruit Salad
Fruit salad sounds simple, but getting the balance of sweet, tart, and fresh just right takes a little intention — and this one absolutely nails it. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, and cantaloupe come together in a bowl that's as colorful as it is satisfying. The dressing is a light whisked blend of fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest, which brightens everything without leaning on any processed additives or preservatives that can sneak citric acid into your food. For anyone navigating that particular sensitivity, the clean, whole-food ingredient list here is genuinely reassuring. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top right before serving adds an herby lift that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. It comes together quickly, holds up well in the fridge for up to an hour, and works beautifully as a side dish, a light dessert, or an anytime snack.
