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)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Greek yogurt
- Granola
Instructions
- Combine Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, add all the prepared fruits—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple, and grapes—ensuring they are cleaned and cut as specified.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the citrus juice (either orange or lemon) and honey or maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well combined, adjusting sweetness to taste.
- Toss Salad: Pour the citrus-honey dressing over the combined fruits. Gently toss the fruit mixture to coat all pieces evenly without bruising them.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the salad to chill.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves and add optional toppings like a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- The citrus juice helps prevent fruits like apples or bananas from browning if added.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup or omit it for a naturally sweet salad.
- Mix gently to avoid damaging tender fruit pieces.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing breakfast or snack.
