Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 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)
Optional Toppings
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Greek yogurt or granola (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple, and grapes to create the base of your salad.
- Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of one orange or lemon with honey or maple syrup until well combined, balancing the sweetness to your liking.
- Dress the fruit: Pour the citrus and honey dressing over the mixed fruits, then gently toss everything together so that the fruits are evenly coated without bruising them.
- Chill and meld flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill nicely.
- Serve with garnish: Before serving, garnish your fruit salad with freshly picked mint leaves and, if desired, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle some granola on top for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- The salad can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup and skip Greek yogurt.
- Mix gently to avoid crushing the berries.
