Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup grapes, halved (red or green)
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 mango, peeled and cubed
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented (or use mandarin slices)
Dressing & Garnish
- ¼ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined, creating a tangy and sweet dressing base.
- Prepare the Fruit and Mint: Wash all fruit thoroughly. Peel, hull, slice, halve, or cube the fruit as necessary. Finely chop the mint leaves to release their fresh aroma.
- Combine Ingredients: Place all the prepared fruit pieces and chopped mint into a large mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Toss with Dressing: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss until every piece is coated evenly, enhancing the natural sweetness and adding a citrusy zing.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate it for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. If adding banana, slice it just before serving to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
Notes
- To keep the salad fresh longer, add delicate fruits like banana only right before serving.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Feel free to substitute or add your favorite seasonal fruits.
- This salad can be prepped ahead but is best enjoyed within 2 hours of assembling.
