Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered

1 cup blueberries, rinsed

1 cup raspberries, rinsed gently

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 cup honey

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Pinch of salt

Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for a savory twist)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Gently toss the fruits together to avoid bruising them.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until well blended.

      Combine: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the mixed fruits and add the chopped basil. Gently toss again to ensure all the fruit is coated with the dressing and basil.

        Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the juices to infuse.

          Serve: Just before serving, if desired, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad for a beautiful contrast of flavors. Serve chilled in individual bowls or on a large platter.

            Garnish: Optionally, garnish with additional basil leaves and a drizzle of honey for an extra touch.
