Nightshade Free Gluten Free Melon Berry Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with summer color, this fruit salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any gathering. Three varieties of melon anchor the bowl with sweetness and hydration, while strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries add a tart, jewel-toned contrast that makes every bite interesting. The honey-lime dressing ā just honey, fresh lime juice, and a little zest ā ties everything together with a citrusy brightness that feels far more special than the effort it takes to whisk together. Fresh mint scattered throughout lifts the whole salad and gives it that restaurant-worthy finish. For anyone navigating nightshade sensitivities, fruit salads can sometimes hide unexpected ingredients in store-bought versions, but this one is completely straightforward ā nothing but whole fruit, honey, lime, and herbs. It's naturally gluten free as well, so it works beautifully as a crowd-pleasing side that genuinely everyone at the table can enjoy. Make it just before serving or let it chill for up to an hour so the flavors can meld even further.
