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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
