Honey Lime Fruit Salad

Something colorful? check. Something fruity? check. Something freshy fresh? check. Something sweet and zesty all at the same time? check and check. This salad looks and tastes like summer, I swear it. I mean, come on, its downright gorgeous. Kiwis are on sale at the grocery store, what are you waiting for? Enjoy! Thanks to Mel for sharing this with the world!

1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained well
1 can mandarin oranges, drained well
2-3 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced into thick half moons
1 cup green grapes, halved
1 cup strawberries, quartered
Zest from one lime, about 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional, but I loved them!)

Combine the fruit in a medium-large serving bowl. Add the lime zest and poppy seeds, if using, and gently toss. Drizzle the honey over the fruit and again, gently mix until the fruit is evenly coated with the honey. Serve.

This is ideally served quickly after mixing, as in, within an hour. Melanie mentioned that the strawberries tend to stain the other fruit in the salad after a while. No biggie for taste but it just doesn't look as pretty any more.
