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)
Optional Garnish and Toppings
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
- Granola (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare and combine fruits: In a large mixing bowl, add all the prepped fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and grapes, ensuring they are clean and properly sliced or halved.
- Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed juice of an orange or lemon with honey or maple syrup until fully combined, creating a sweet citrus dressing.
- Toss fruit with dressing: Pour the dressing evenly over the mixed fruits and gently toss everything together so the fruits are coated evenly without bruising.
- Chill to meld flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the juices and flavors to mingle for a more harmonious taste.
- Serve and garnish: Just before serving, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves. Optionally, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola on top for texture and protein enhancement.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- The dressing is optional; fruits can also be served plain for a naturally sweet salad.
- Honey or maple syrup can be adjusted or omitted depending on desired sweetness or dietary preferences.
- The salad can be prepared a few hours ahead but is best enjoyed fresh to maintain fruit texture.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing experience.
