Honey lemon dressing for berry banana salad
I love using honey lemon dressing on fruit salads that I want to keep simple, easy to put together and relatively healthy, though I also love creamy salads that use cheese, cream, custards etc as well on occasions.
Honey lemon dressing is a very simple and easy dressing that you can use for fruit salads.
Here we only make a little serving of fruit salad (which you may double or triple as you like) and so we only use a little fruit salad dressing as well.
When it comes to salad dressings, I think a little goes a lot, so just use a little dressing for the salad and see how you like it. If you want to add more salad dressing, it’s too easy to make little more as you need!
The fruits are already sweet, so you do not need a lot of sweetener.
Also, I only used a little honey and lemon juice in this recipe, as it is perfect for my preference but you may add more of honey or lemon if you like.
You can also replace honey with sugar which goes great as well!
Instead of lemon juice, you can use lime juice, orange juice etc for a slightly different flavor as well.
So here is how you can easily make this colorful, delicious fruit salad at home using strawberries, blueberries and bananas.
How to make strawberry blueberry banana fruit salad?
We use the following ingredients to make easy, delicious, colorful and refreshing summer fruit salad with berries and bananas.
ingredients to make summer berry & banana salad
strawberries 2 cups
blueberries 1 cup
banana 1 large
for the fruit salad dressing:
lemon juice 1 teaspoon (or use orange juice or lime juice)
honey 1 teaspoon (or use sugar) adjust to taste
step by step instructions
Wash the strawberries very well and trim to remove any green leaves.
Slice the strawberries in halves and add it to the salad bowl.
Also add the blueberries to the salad bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix well the lemon juice and honey mixture.
Add the lemon honey mixture to the strawberries and blueberries in the bowl, mix well to combine (you may also use other sweeteners instead of honey if you wish).
Slice the banana in rounds and add it to the salad bowl evenly across the blueberries and strawberries which will pop the red, blue and white colors perfectly well.
If you mix the bananas too much, they may turn mushy, so the bananas just need to be added on top.
Just squeeze a little lemon juice on top over the banana slices, so the bananas won’t brown quickly.
If you wish, you can gently mix the bananas in, but the color from strawberries and blueberries may change the color of bananas slightly when you mix, so I usually do not mix them in.
Place the prepared salad in refrigerate, serve chilled for best results!
