Red White and Blue Fruit Salad

4th of July is just around the corner and we are ready! I just love this red white and blue fruit salad. It just screams 4th of July food. 🙂 It is beautiful and you can throw it together in simply 5 minutes.

Red White and Blue Fruit Salad is easy.

I’m telling you- this recipe is so easy. Now, if you want to leave out the honey lime glaze you totally can… However, there is something about the sweet and sour glaze on top of this fruit that just makes it extra special. If I had to pick, I would say the bananas taste the best with the glaze, but it is hard to choose. I like to make sure I have some of each in every bite. 🙂

Ingredients you need:

1. 16 oz of Strawberries, washed and cut in half
2. 1 pint of blue berries, rinsed
3. 3 bananas sliced in thick chunks
4. 1/8 cup of honey
5. 1 fresh lime

How to make 4th of July fruit salad:

1.  Wash and cut all your fruit.
2. Combine in a bowl.
3. In a small bowl whisk together the honey and freshly squeezed lime juice.
4. Here is a hint  – microwave your lime for 10 seconds before you cut and squeeze it. You will get more out of it after it was warmed up.
5. Drizzle the honey lime glaze over the fruit and stir slightly to coat.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
