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 & Toppings
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
- Granola (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the hulled, sliced, and prepared fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and halved grapes.
- Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed juice of one orange or lemon with 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Toss the salad: Pour the citrus and honey dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss them to coat the fruits evenly without mashing.
- Chill to meld flavors: Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to absorb the dressing.
- Serve and garnish: Before serving, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves for a bright flavor and freshness. Optionally, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle granola on top for added texture and creaminess.
Notes
- Using citrus juice like orange or lemon not only adds freshness but also prevents the fruit from browning quickly.
- The honey or maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the fruits or personal preference.
- Refrigerating the salad helps the flavors blend beautifully and makes it a perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack.
- Add Greek yogurt or granola just before serving to keep the textures distinct and crunchy.
