Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup Strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered
  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • 1 cup Mango, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 Kiwis, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup Pineapple, cubed evenly

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed Lime Juice

Optional

  • Fresh Mint leaves, chiffonade for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash all the fruits thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. Peel the kiwi and mango, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Cube the pineapple evenly to ensure a balanced bite in every spoonful.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice and honey until the honey dissolves completely. This simple dressing brings brightness and a touch of sweetness that perfectly enhances the fruit without overpowering it.
  3. Combine Everything: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss all the prepared fruits. Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruits and carefully fold everything together to coat evenly, making sure each piece glistens with zesty sweetness.
  4. Add Fresh Mint: Optionally, chiffonade fresh mint leaves and sprinkle on top for an added burst of refreshing aroma and flavor, enhancing the overall experience.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Allow the salad to chill for at least 15-20 minutes in the fridge. This resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully and makes every bite even more delightful.

Notes

  • Choose ripe and fresh fruits for natural sweetness and best texture.
  • Cut fruits into uniform sizes for balanced flavor and elegant presentation.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the dressing; add more honey or lime juice as preferred.
  • Chill the salad before serving to allow flavors to blend and enhance refreshment.
  • If using high-water-content fruits like watermelon, add them just before serving to prevent sogginess.
