SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

FLAVOR VARIATIONS

• Add halved strawberries and sliced bananas.  To keep the bananas from browning toss the sliced bananas in the orange lime juice before adding the honey.
• Replace the berries in the recipe with kiwi slices and grape halves.  Substitute a juiced lemon for the juiced lime.
• For a little more flavor punch add a little orange and lime zest to the drizzle.  If desired brown sugar can be substituted for the honey.
