Gelatin Free Classic Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with color, this bowl of mixed fruit is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, and cantaloupe come together in a way that feels both effortless and impressive. The real magic is the simple dressing — fresh lime juice, honey, and a little lime zest whisked together until smooth — which ties every piece of fruit together without overpowering the natural sweetness. Many store-bought fruit cups and packaged salads sneak in gelatin-based glazes or stabilizers to keep things looking glossy, so making your own is genuinely the smarter move. Here, everything is completely plant-based and straightforward, with zero hidden additives to worry about. A scatter of fresh mint right before serving adds a cool, fragrant finish that takes the whole bowl up a notch. It's the kind of recipe you'll reach for all summer long.
