Ingredients for A Honey Of A Salad

  • Plain Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Lime Zest
  • Avocados
  • Kiwi Fruits
  • Banana
  • 1 cup cubed papaya
  • Sweetened Flaked Coconut

How to Make A Honey Of A Salad

  1. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and emulsified.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together 1 cup cubed mango, 1 cup cubed pineapple, 1 cup cubed papaya, 1 ripe avocado (diced), and 1 cup kiwi (sliced).
  3. Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat evenly. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve the fruit's texture.
  4. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut and serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
