Ginger Free Classic Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with color, this fruit salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Six different fruits — strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, and cantaloupe — come together in one big bowl for a mix of sweet, tart, and tropical flavors in every bite. The simple dressing of fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest ties everything together without overpowering the natural sweetness of the fruit. Many store-bought fruit salads and pre-made dressings sneak in unexpected spices, so making this from scratch gives you full control over every ingredient. There's no ginger anywhere in this recipe — not in the dressing, not tucked into the fruit prep — just clean, fresh flavors you can feel confident about. A scatter of fresh mint right before serving adds a cool, fragrant finish that makes it feel a little fancy with almost zero extra effort. Make it ahead and refrigerate for up to an hour, and it's ready to go whenever you need it.
