Notes: This quick refreshing salad can be made up to 3 hours in advance. Be careful though, if you wait too long to serve it, it will get soft and watery. If you are not using seedless grapes, you may want to seed them, as the seeds are often bitter.

 

Variations: Once you get the hang of this salad, try different combinations of your favorite fruits.  More or less honey may be used depending on how sweet you like things to be.

 

Substitutions: Fresh lime juice/Bottled lime or lemon juice. Fresh mint/Dried mint.
