Citric Acid Free Ginger-Lime Fruit Harvest Salad
This vibrant bowl of fresh fruit is the kind of dish that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes. Ripe strawberries, blueberries, grapes, mango, and peach are tossed in a bright dressing built from fresh lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, honey, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon — no packaged mixes, no mystery additives, just clean whole ingredients. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, store-bought fruit salads and pre-made dressings are often a minefield of hidden preservatives and acidulants, so making your own dressing from scratch is genuinely the smartest move. The lime here provides natural tartness without any added citric acid, and the honey rounds everything out beautifully. A short ten-minute rest lets the fruit release its own juices and meld with the dressing, so every bite is deeply flavorful rather than just coated. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby finish that makes the whole bowl feel a little fancy. It's the kind of recipe you'll come back to all season long.
