BHA & BHT Free Ginger-Lime Fruit Harvest Salad
This vibrant bowl of strawberries, blueberries, grapes, mango, and peach is the kind of dish that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes. The real magic is in the dressing — fresh lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, honey, and a pinch of Ceylon cinnamon whisked into something bright, warm, and just a little unexpected. Avoiding BHA and BHT can be trickier than it sounds, since those preservatives sneak into everything from packaged fruit products to flavored dressings, but this recipe sidesteps all of that by relying entirely on whole, fresh ingredients with nothing processed in sight. A short rest at room temperature lets the fruit release its natural juices and soak up the dressing, so every bite is deeply flavored rather than just coated. Ceylon cinnamon in particular adds a delicate, floral warmth that regular cinnamon can't quite match, and it pairs beautifully with the zing of fresh ginger. Finish it with a handful of thinly sliced mint and you've got a showstopper that's as clean and wholesome as it is delicious.
