Citrus Poppyseed Fruit Salad
Even if your fruit is slightly underripe, adding a combination of coconut water, lime, and honey helps to add some sweetness - and the poppy seeds add a nice crunch. This salad works great as a traveling snack or for a picnic.
Ingredients
- 120 ml (½ cup) coconut water
- (1 ) lime, zest and flesh only
- 45 ml (3 Tablespoons) honey
- 18 g (2 Tablespoons) poppy seeds
- 1.3 kg (3 pounds) diced apples [or pineapple, blackberry, kiwi, blueberry, or fruit of choice]
Directions
- Place the coconut water, lime zest and peeled lime into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the blade base.
- Start the machine on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, blending for 30 seconds.
- Add the poppy seeds to the container and stir to incorporate. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the poppy seeds to hydrate. Then, toss gently with the fruit to coat, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chef's Notes
- Whole limes always provide the freshest citrus flavor - the zest carries a lot of essential oils that help to flavor the salad, bringing a nice "zing" to it. Adding a simple dressing like this one can breathe life into everyday fruits, encouraging even the pickiest of eaters to try something new.
