Description
A fresh, colorful, and naturally sweet fruit salad made with a mix of juicy berries, grapes, kiwi, banana, and orange tossed in a light honey-lemon dressing. It is quick to prepare, refreshing, and perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 cup red grapes, halved
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Wash all the fruits thoroughly and prepare them as needed by slicing, peeling, or segmenting.
- Place all the prepared fruits into a large mixing bowl, keeping the pieces bite-sized for even mixing.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
- Pour the dressing gently over the fruit and toss carefully to avoid crushing softer fruits like bananas.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh mint on top if using.
- Let the fruit salad sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can swap in seasonal fruits such as pineapple, mango, apples, or pears.
- For a creamier version, mix in a little yogurt or whipped cream before serving.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a different natural sweetness.
- For best texture, add banana just before serving if making ahead.
- Lemon juice helps slow browning in fruits like bananas and apples.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it is best enjoyed within 1 day.
- This salad is meant to be served cold and should not be reheated.
