Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups seedless grapes, halved
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Place the sliced strawberries, halved grapes, pineapple chunks, blueberries, and sliced kiwi in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss them together to combine evenly.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice and honey, if you’re using it, until well combined and slightly runny.
- Toss with dressing: Drizzle the lemon-honey dressing over the mixed fruit. Gently toss again, making sure all the fruit pieces are lightly coated with the dressing without bruising them.
- Add garnish: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the salad for an added burst of flavor and color, if desired.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the fruit salad for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and serve chilled for best taste.
Notes
- Use any fresh, in-season fruits you prefer or have on hand to customize this salad.
- Add bananas or other fruits that brown easily just before serving to prevent discoloration.
- Honey can be omitted to make the salad completely vegan.
- For a zestier dress, add a pinch of grated lemon zest along with the juice.
