Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruit
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 1 cup watermelon, cubed
- 1 apple, cored and diced
- 1 banana, sliced
Additional Flavor
- 1/2 cup orange juice (for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the fresh fruits: strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, watermelon, apple, and banana. Make sure the fruits are washed, prepared, and cut as indicated.
- Add orange juice: Drizzle the orange juice over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine, enhancing the flavor and preventing the fruits from browning.
- Sweeten if desired: If you prefer a sweeter salad, drizzle with honey and toss again to evenly coat all the fruit pieces with the natural sweetener.
- Garnish with mint: Add fresh mint leaves on top for a burst of color and a refreshing aroma that complements the fruity flavors.
- Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving to enjoy it as a cool and refreshing breakfast option.
Notes
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- The honey is optional and can be omitted for a lower sugar salad.
- For added crunch, consider sprinkling some nuts or seeds just before serving.
- This fruit salad is best consumed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Orange juice not only adds flavor but also contains vitamin C which helps prevent fruit browning.
