A fruit salad may seem like a no-brainer to prepare, but adding extra flavor with a ginger-lime–passion fruit dressing can make the difference between an uninspired mound of random fruit bits and a dish you would actually serve at a special brunch. Here, pineapple and winter fruits like Cara Cara oranges and kiwis are mixed up with a little passion fruit juice, lime zest, ginger, and a dash of brown sugar to make a saucy coating that gives this salad some personality. Try it for breakfast with our easy French Toast recipe.
Game plan: If time permits, chill the fruit before making the salad so the fruit can be cut and served at its freshest.
