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 (for freshness)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Garnish and Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh mint leaves
- Greek yogurt
- Granola
Instructions
- Combine fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and halved grapes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Prepare dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the citrus juice from the orange or lemon and the honey or maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Toss fruits with dressing: Pour the citrus-honey dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly without bruising the softer berries.
- Chill to blend flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the fruits to soak up the dressing and enhances the flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves and optionally add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and creaminess.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup, or omit it if you prefer a tart salad.
- Prepare the salad just before serving or chill it as directed to keep fruits fresh and prevent sogginess.
- Substitute fruits based on seasonal availability or preference.
- Adding Greek yogurt or granola as toppings balances the salad with some protein and crunch.
