Notes
Orange adds extra brightness - It gives a subtle citrus sweetness that pairs perfectly with the honey lime dressing.
Use ripe, fresh fruit - This makes the biggest difference in overall flavor.
Add bananas last (if using) - They brown quickly, so wait until right before serving.
Don’t skip the lime zest - It adds depth and elevates the citrus flavor.
Make ahead tip - Prep fruit and dressing separately, then combine before serving for best texture.
Too much juice? - Simply stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
