- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
1. Begin by roughly chopping the mixed dried fruits into bite-sized pieces if they are large. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
5. Pour the honey-lemon dressing over the dried fruit and nut mixture. Toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
6. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
7. Serve the fruit salad immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy as a delightful side dish or snack!
