My Story
This recipe came to life one summer afternoon when I was staring at a bowl of fruit on my counter and didn’t want any of it to go to waste. I needed something quick, light, and refreshing—so I tossed it all together and drizzled it with honey and lime. The result? Pure magic. My kids couldn’t get enough, and honestly, neither could I. It’s become our go-to for brunches, BBQs, and even weeknight desserts when I want something sweet but not too heavy. Sometimes I’ll even scoop it up with cinnamon pita chips or serve it over yogurt. Either way, it disappears fast!
