Ingredients

    1 pint of fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
    1 medium ripe cantaloupe, peeled and cubed
    2 ripe pears, peeled and cubed
    5 kiwi, skin removed and cubed
    1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
    zest of 1 lime
    1/3 cup honey
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    3/4 cup canola oil
    1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

Directions

    Toss cubed pears with a little lime juice so they don't discolor. In a bowl, add fruit & walnuts.

    Dressing: In a bowl combine honey, lime zest, and lime juice. With an electric mixer on medium speed add oil to honey mixture, pour in a thin steady stream until mixing until slightly thickened. Pour over fruit the amount you want and mix gently. Some people like more dressing, some less. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve in attractive crystal bowl.
