Carrageenan Free No-Cook Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with color, this no-cook fruit salad is the kind of dish that makes a table look instantly festive without any effort at the stove. Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, kiwi, grapes, and pineapple all come together in one big bowl, then get tossed in a simple honey-lime dressing that ties every bite together with a sweet, citrusy punch. The fresh mint scattered on top adds a cool, aromatic finish that takes the whole thing from basic to genuinely impressive. For anyone avoiding carrageenan ā a thickener and stabilizer that sneaks into a surprising number of packaged foods and pre-made dressings ā this recipe is a breath of fresh air. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward, with no processed additives to second-guess. The dressing is just honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest, whisked together in under a minute. It's the kind of recipe where you know exactly what you're eating, which is honestly half the appeal. Make it ahead and refrigerate for up to two hours, or serve it right away while the fruit is at its most vibrant.
