Kid-Friendly Prep
Kids love making this recipe. My little girl loves when I make this recipe, because she loves to help. I always let my kids cut the grapes. I give them a plastic knife, and let them at it. The grapes are dull enough that a plastic knife easily cuts through them. The strawberries can also be cut with a plastic knife.
We also add bananas into this salad, every once in a while and it is the best flavor combination. My kids always sneak banana slice into their mouths as they cut it. I have found that when my kids help me make the food for dinner, they are more likely to eat it, because they take more ownership in it. I love bringing little hands in the kitchen to help. Also, a great way to get them to talk about life and make lasting memories together.

This looks yum, I love fruit salad!
looks refreshingly tasty!
Sounds great! Fresh and Tart! 🙂
This tastes yummy!
I discovered this recipe a couple years ago and I LOVE it! Just made it again over the weekend with mango, strawberries and banana. The honey and the lime really combine with the juice to change the flavor. It’s great!
My kids love this recipe!
I’m wanting to make this but I have to ask- just add the zest of the lime and not the juice?
Just the zest of the lime, however feel free to add some lime juice if you’d like. It will add more tartness so you may want to adjust the honey to taste
