Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup green apple, diced
- 1 cup honeydew melon, cubed
Dressing
- ½ cup lime juice
Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Peel the kiwi and slice it. Halve the green grapes, dice the green apple, and cube the honeydew melon to create uniform bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
- Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the prepared green grapes, sliced kiwi, diced apple, and cubed honeydew melon to blend all the fresh fruit flavors together.
- Add Citrus Flavor: Drizzle the fruit mixture evenly with fresh lime juice. Gently toss the salad with a spoon or spatula to ensure all the fruit pieces are lightly coated with the lime juice, enhancing the freshness and preventing browning.
- Garnish & Serve: Decorate the top of the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and an invigorating aromatic touch. Serve immediately for optimal freshness or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm fruits to maintain texture and prevent mushiness.
- For extra sweetness, consider a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Can be prepared a few hours ahead; keep refrigerated and add mint leaves just before serving.
- Substitute lime juice with lemon juice if preferred.
