Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 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 mandarin slices)
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Others
- 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 to create a flavorful honey-lime dressing.
- Prepare the fruit and mint: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Peel and slice the kiwis and mango, hull and halve the strawberries, halve the grapes, and peel and segment the orange (or use mandarin slices). Finely chop the mint leaves.
- Combine ingredients: Place all the prepared fruits and the chopped mint into a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of the mint among the fruits.
- Toss with dressing: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss using a large spoon or spatula until all the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve or chill: Serve the fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate it for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. If adding bananas, slice and add them just before serving to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
Notes
- For added creaminess, a dollop of Greek yogurt pairs well with this salad.
- Bananas can be included but should be sliced and added right before serving to avoid discoloration.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh and can be refrigerated for no longer than 2 hours to maintain texture and flavor.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
- Adjust the sweetness and tartness by varying the amount of honey and lime juice according to taste.
