- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until you’ve got a lovely, smooth dressing.
- Drizzle that honey-lime vinaigrette over the fruit salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly in this deliciousness.
- If you’ve decided to use feta cheese, sprinkle it on top just before serving to keep it nice and fresh!
