what you’ll need for this recipe
Fruit – Fruit is the main ingredient in this recipe. I used a combination of fresh mango, strawberries, and pineapple, but you can feel free to use any types of fruit you enjoy. [See my ideas for “Recipe Variations” below!]
Lemons & limes – I used a combination of lemon juice and lime zest in the dressing. You can use either fresh or bottled lemon juice OR substitute lime juice instead.
Honey – I added a touch of honey to the lemon juice to balance out the tartness of the lemon. Feel free to substitute sugar, agave, or any sweetener you prefer.
Poppy seeds – I also added poppy seeds to the dressing, just for fun. Feel free to omit them if you prefer.
