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
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Garnish & Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh mint leaves
- Greek yogurt or granola
Instructions
- Prepare Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and grapes ensuring they are clean and properly cut.
- Make Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice from one orange or lemon with honey or maple syrup until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Toss Salad: Pour the citrus and honey dressing over the mixed fruits in the large bowl, then gently toss everything together so the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the salad to refresh.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves, and optionally add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle granola on top for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe fruits to maximize flavor.
- The citrus juice helps to keep the fruit fresh and prevents browning.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and skip the Greek yogurt topping.
- This salad can be prepared a few hours ahead but is best served the same day for optimal freshness.
- Add nuts or seeds for additional crunch if desired.
