Citric Acid Free Gluten Free Melon Berry Fruit Salad
Few things feel as effortlessly refreshing as a big bowl of ripe, colorful fruit, and this one delivers on every level. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon bring juicy sweetness, while strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries add a pop of color and a gentle tartness that keeps every bite interesting. The honey-lime dressing ties it all together beautifully ā just a drizzle of honey, fresh lime juice, and a little zest whisked smooth, then tossed over the fruit so every piece gets coated. Fresh mint scattered through at the end adds an unexpected brightness that makes the whole bowl taste like summer. For anyone navigating citric acid sensitivities, fruit salads can be tricky since many store-bought dressings and packaged mixes sneak in citric acid as a preservative ā here, the dressing is made entirely from scratch with whole, recognizable ingredients. Lime juice is a natural fruit acid rather than the manufactured additive, making this a genuinely clean option you can feel confident serving. It comes together in minutes and is just as welcome at a backyard cookout as it is on a quiet weekday morning.
