How to Make Fruit Salad With Honey Dressing

  1. **Make the Honey Dressing:** In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  2. **Shake it up:** Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is well combined.
  3. **Prep the fruit:** In a large bowl, gently toss 2 cups chopped apples (Honeycrisp or Gala recommended), 1 ripe banana (sliced), and 1 ripe avocado (diced) with the juice of 1 lemon to prevent browning.
  4. **Combine the ingredients:** Add 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) to the bowl with the apples, banana, and avocado.
  5. **Dress to impress:** Pour the honey dressing over the fruit mixture.
  6. **Gently toss:** Stir gently to coat all the fruit evenly with the dressing. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
