Spring Time = Spring Food!

Spring Time = Spring Food!

Well, in Wisconsin spring is technically here but not the weather! We got at least 10 ½ inches of snow yesterday into today; yet I still had my windows down at lunch, sun shining and all! It’s beautiful out. Poor kiddos have spring break this week up here and they can’t even play with spring jackets. That’s Wisconsin though!

We can definitely cook like its spring though! Check out this new recipe I’ve been dying to try. It basically has all my favorite fruits plus a few more.

Honey Lime Rainbow Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh strawberries; diced

1 lb. fresh pineapple; diced

12 oz fresh blueberries; diced

12 oz red grapes; diced into halves

4 kiwis; peeled and diced

1 (15 oz.) can mandarin oranges in juice; drained well and sliced into halves

2 bananas; ripe & diced*

Honey Lime Dressing:

¼ cup honey

2 tsp. lime zest (zest of 2 medium limes)

3 drops YL Lime essential oil

Directions:

Add all fruit into a large mixing bowl. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest and lime juice. Pour over fruit just before serving and toss to evenly coast (as it sits for a few minutes the juices will gather at the bottom, so toss again before plating)

*the bananas aren’t picture. I decided to add them later on for better taste.
