Ingredients

Honey-Poppy Seed Dressing

1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seed

Salad

1 medium pineapple
1 medium orange
1 small bunch seedless green grapes
1 large unpeeled apple

Steps

1

In a tightly covered jar or container, shake the dressing ingredients.
2

Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters. Cut off the rind and the core, removing any “eyes” or spots left from the rind. Cut the pineapple into about 1-inch chunks to make 4 cups.
3

Peel the orange, using a paring knife. Cut along the membrane of both sides of one orange section. Remove that section, and continue with the rest of the orange.
4

Wash the grapes, and cut in half.
5

Cut the unpeeled apple into quarters, and remove the core and seeds. Cut each quarter into 1-inch pieces.
6

Shake the dressing again to mix ingredients. In a large glass or plastic bowl, mix the fruits and the dressing. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve. Store any remaining salad covered in the refrigerator.

large salad or mixing bowl
For a creamy fruit salad, substitute 1/2 cup frozen (thawed) whipped topping and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel for the Honey-Poppy Seed Dressing. Stir into fruit just before serving.
Rather than cutting up a pineapple, use purchased pineapple chunks. If pieces are large, cut into about 1-inch chunks.
Two cups strawberries, cut in half, can be substituted for half of the pineapple.
