Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing

A quick, easy, and tasty fruit salad. I used 2% Greek yogurt because that's what I had on hand. I think regular yogurt would be too runny. I also added lots of chopped fresh mint over the fruit. The recipe is very flexible you can use almost any fresh fruit you have on hand. I used watermelon, strawberries, green grapes, bananas, and fuji apples. I think serving toasted, slivered almonds or toasted coconut on the side would be great. Think I'll try that next time.

This salad is a fresh and delicious addition to any breakfast or brunch. I have made variations of it a number of times depending on what is in season, and have been very pleased every time. The dressing is perfect!

Lovely combination of flavours. For those who are having problems with runny yogurt, try using Greek yogurt. It's already strained (that's what makes it "Greek yogurt"), so it's beautifully thick and creamy. While you can cook with it or otherwise use it in the same way as sour cream, I've actually come to prefer it. Full-fat (10%) is tastiest, of course, but even 2% fat is pretty darned good...

I was not impressed with this recipe. The dressing is runny and the whole result was just cubed fruit in runny dressing. A light coating would have been fine.

Used 1/2 cup light sour cream, 2 tablespoons lime juice,2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon lime peel. Also have used lemon juice and lemon peel and both make a wonderful dressing.The sour cream is thicker and does not need to be drained. Also I serve the fruit on an individual plate with the dressing drizzled on top. DELICIOUS!!

I've made it several times with great results. I've used bottled lime juice when no limes on hand which works though not as well. I serve it as dessert so I don't have to strain it since it won't sit for too long but for a buffet-type setting, I would definitely strain through a coffee filter or cheese cloth. We love it with watermelon . I can't believe they didn't include watermelon in the recipe, it's delicious with this sauce!

I absolutely LOVED the flavors so for me the recipe is a keeper. Would like the sauce thicker. I had no fresh limes so I used powdered lime that I keep on hand and that helps with the consistency by not watering it down.

ok, doesnt anyone use sour cream anymore? no yogurt in the house, so I subbed the sour cream, and it was just dandy. this goes with just about any fruit you like. I like using peaches, strawberries, mango & blueberries. great color, very yummy.

我做一遍,但是只有经过紧张yogurt for several hours (I was rushed and didn't read the reviews recommending this). But I still liked the yogurt, lime, and honey on the fruit, though it makes too much dressing (eyeball it). I used melon, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and green grapses.

I made the topping with the lime juice, lime zest, yogurt and honey. I used differents fruits though. (more berries and less melon) It was very good. Everyone loved it. I think that the topping would go with any fruit.

I really like how this recipe elevates a typical fruit salad into something much more. The tang of the lime along with the sweetness of the fruit is a treat for the tastebuds. This is a summer standard! If you are worried about the dressing getting runny, make your yogurt into cheese first. Just put a coffee filter in a strainer and put the strainer over a small bowl to catch the runoff. I often strain it overnight. And, like the recipe says, don't add the dressing until you are almost ready to serve!

The flavor was delicious, it was a bit runny, but only after several hours. I served it after tossing the fruit with the dressing and it was perfect then...however, it was a lot more runny a few hours later.

I really liked the dressing, but it lost its consistency and much of the flavor just a short time after mixing it in with the fruit. I drained the yogurt first as was suggested by another cook, and I can't imagine how runny it would have been otherwise. I will make the dressing again, but use it as a dip on the side instead.

This is great - I used different fruits and made the dressing w/Fage Total Greek Yogurt (2%) - the dressing is still runny b/c of all the lime juice but it has a wonderful tang and is a great compliment to the fruit.
