Description

A refreshing and vibrant Breakfast Fruit Salad featuring a medley of fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple, and grapes, lightly dressed in citrus juice and honey for a naturally sweet and tangy start to your day. This easy, no-cook recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, garnished with fresh mint and optional Greek yogurt or granola for added texture and creaminess.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup grapes, halved

Dressing

  • Juice of 1 orange or lemon (for freshness)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Garnish and Toppings

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Greek yogurt or granola (optional for topping)


Instructions

  1. Combine fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and grapes, ensuring they are ready and properly sliced or halved for easy eating.
  2. Prepare dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of one orange or lemon with honey or maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well combined, balancing the natural sweetness and acidity.
  3. Dress the fruit: Pour the citrus and honey dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly without bruising delicate berries.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to absorb the refreshing citrus notes.
  5. Serve: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves for a herbaceous freshness and optionally add a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of crunchy granola to vary the texture and increase satiety.

Notes

  • For extra sweetness, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste or omit for a naturally sweet salad.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
  • This salad can be prepared a few hours ahead but is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Optional toppings like Greek yogurt and granola add protein and crunch but can be left out for a vegan option if using maple syrup.
  • Mint is optional but highly recommended to enhance freshness.
