This is my new favourite. A last-minute, throw-together fruit salad. It’s easy, delicious and you probably have everything already on hand. I don’t tend to pay a ton of attention to what’s in season. I’ll add that to my ever-growing list of things to do–buy in season. Really, it makes sense, but at this moment I’m just not that organized.

I do shop the sales, so I am, in a sense, buying for the season. What I do have though, is a stockpile of frozen fruit ready for smoothies. On the days that I want an easy, any season fruit salad I now, go straight to my freezer.

A couple of Christmasses ago, my mom and I were planning the holiday brunch. We decided on these Ham and Swiss Pinwheels, an egg and potato breakfast casserole and a fruit salad. Instead of using fresh fruit, my mom suggested using some frozen bags of mixed fruit. She too has a stockpile. I was hesitant at first but figured why not. We could add a dressing and it could work.

Well, work it did. It was way better than I thought it would be. The fruit held its taste and texture and it soaked up the ginger lime dressing nicely. We added fresh navel oranges because we had them on hand. They were, along with a squeeze of lime, the only fresh addition, though.

While the fruit is thawing, whisk together the orange juice, honey, lime and ginger, set that aside. Peel and cut the oranges into bite-sized chunks. Once the fruit has thawed toss everything together and stir to mix. Let sit for an hour and serve. We recommend serving this alongside these sweet Land of Nod Cinnamon Buns or this savoury Camper’s Hearty Breakfast Scramble.
