Key Lime and Honey Winter Fruit Salad

Sweet oranges, pineapple chunks and kiwi slices are tossed with a simply honey lime poppyseed dressing. This whole salad took just minutes to prepare. My family eats a lot of fruit. Simple fruits, baked fruits, fruit salads, chocolate dipped or blended into smoothies, we love it all. This time of year, the selection is limited, but there is always a heaping basket of oranges on the counter. I wanted a fruit salad based on our favorite cutie oranges and this one was perfect.

My boys ate every bite of this salad and declared it perfect. My youngest wasn't about to eat out of a plastic bowl after he saw his brother's glasses. So, I poured his fruit into a juice glass and he was thrilled. Who could resist that face?
