Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Frozen fruit isn’t recommended here, as it tends to release too much liquid and turns mushy when thawed. Fresh fruit is the secret to that perfect juicy bite!

How do I keep the fruit salad from getting soggy?

Toss everything together right before serving and keep the salad chilled. If making ahead, hold off on adding the lime juice and honey until closer to serving for optimal freshness.

What if I can’t find passion fruit?

No worries! Leave it out, or substitute with extra berries or another tart fruit like sliced kiwi. The salad will still be delightfully zesty.

Is it okay to make this salad a day ahead?

Yes, with a small tweak—prepare all fruit except the raspberries and dressing. Add delicate berries, lime juice, and honey right before serving to keep everything vibrant and perky.

Instructions

Prepare the Honeydew Melon: Slice your honeydew melon in half, scoop out the seeds, remove the rind, and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large serving bowl.
Deseed the Pomegranate: Fill a second bowl halfway with water, break the pomegranate into quarters, and use the water to help separate the seeds/arils from the pith. Drain the water and add only the pomegranate seeds/arils to the bowl with the melon.
Prepare the Passion Fruit: Halve each passion fruit and scoop out the pulp using a spoon. Set aside.
Add Berries and Passion Fruit: Add the fresh blueberries, raspberries, and scooped passion fruit pulp to the bowl with the melon and pomegranate seeds.
Add Dressing: Drizzle the salad with freshly squeezed lime juice and your desired amount of raw honey.
Toss and Chill: Gently toss all ingredients together to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve for optimal freshness and flavor.

Notes

This salad is best served chilled and fresh.
You can substitute or add seasonal fruits as desired.
Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference.
Lime juice prevents fruits from browning and enhances freshness.
For a vegan version, use agave or maple syrup instead of honey.
