Fruit Salad with honey lime chia seed dressing

You can really use any fruit that you like but here's what I did.
about 4 cups diced fruit - 1 small granny smith apple, strawberries, pineapple, purple grapes
1/2 of a large lime juiced
1 big scoop honey (about 1-1/2 Tbsp i'd say)
1 Tbsp chia seeds

Dice up your fruit into nice little chunks and put in a bowl. In another bowl stir up the lime juice, honey and chia seeds, pour over fruit and toss together. You have no idea what you are missing, this is the BEST fruit salad dressing and so healthy!

Chia seeds are loaded with Omega-3 as well as a fair amount of omega-6 and since it's a seed obviously it has tons of fiber. (FYI: 1oz of chia seeds is about 2 Tbsp) I love to put chia seeds in my smoothies and I have a fantastic recipe for raspberry "jam" that takes 5 minutes to make and has no added pectin.
