Instructions

Prepare the Fruit: Gently wash and slice the peaches, ensuring they are ripe but firm to maintain texture. Rinse the blackberries and blueberries thoroughly and remove the seeds from the pomegranate.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, and the basil ribbons. This creates a colorful, aromatic base for the salad.
Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and freshly squeezed lime juice evenly over the fruit and basil mixture. The honey adds natural sweetness, while lime brightens the flavors.
Toss and Serve: Using tongs, gently toss the salad until all fruit is well-coated with the dressing and basil is evenly distributed. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

For make-ahead: Combine all ingredients except basil up to 1 day ahead; add basil ribbons just before serving to preserve their color and freshness.
Leftovers keep well for 2–4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Customize by adding other fruits like strawberries, cherries, or kiwi, or swap basil for mint if desired.
