Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup ripe blueberries
  • 1 cup sweet pineapple chunks
  • 2 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium crisp apple, chopped
  • 1 large orange, peeled and segmented

Fresh Elements

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Optional Sweetener

  • 12 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fruit: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Peel or hull where necessary, then cut into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat in one or two bites.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the chopped fruits, mixing evenly without mashing the softer fruits to maintain their texture.
  3. Add Fresh Elements: Sprinkle fresh lime juice over the salad to brighten flavors and prevent browning. If using, lightly drizzle honey or agave syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
  4. Garnish: Finely chop fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top to add a refreshing aroma and flavor twist.
  5. Chill and Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully before serving.

  • Cut all fruits into similar sizes for better presentation and easy eating.
