Fruit Salad with Sweet Dressing

This is a light & refreshing snack when you need that quick pick me up in the afternoon. Great to keep in the fridge for when the kids come home from school.

• 1/3 cup honey
  1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus the juice 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard
• 1 apple, cored and diced
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans

For the dressing:
Combine the honey, orange juice, oil, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, poppy seeds, salt, and mustard in a jar with a tight lid; cover and shake well. Toss the apple, banana, and avocado with juice from 1 lemon to prevent the fruit from turning brown. Combine all the fruit, raisins, and nuts in a glass bowl. Add the dressing and stir gently. Mmmmm good! Cindy Karas ckaras@nc.rr.com
