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
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- ¼ cup mint leaves (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy dressing.
- Prep the fruit and mint: Wash, peel, and slice all the fruit as instructed, and finely chop the mint leaves to add a fresh herbal note.
- Combine ingredients: Place all the prepared fruit and chopped mint into a large mixing bowl, ready for tossing.
- Toss with dressing: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing and mint.
- Serve or refrigerate: Serve the salad immediately for maximum freshness, or refrigerate it for up to 2 hours. If adding banana, slice and add it just before serving to maintain freshness and prevent browning.
Notes
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh; refrigeration for longer than 2 hours may cause the fruit to release excess juice.
- If using banana, add it just before serving to avoid browning.
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Feel free to customize the fruit mix according to seasonal availability or personal preferences.
