Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups seedless grapes, halved
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
Lime Dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Combine Fruit: In a large serving bowl, add all the prepared fruit—strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, grapes, and watermelon—ensuring they are fresh and properly sliced or halved for easy eating.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy dressing.
- Toss Fruit with Dressing: Pour the lime dressing over the mixed fruit and gently toss everything together using a spatula or large spoon to evenly coat all the fruit pieces without bruising them.
- Add Mint: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the tossed fruit salad for a refreshing herbal note and lightly mix it in to distribute the mint flavor.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and serve the fruit salad chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe and fresh fruits for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Feel free to add other fruits such as mango, raspberries, or blackberries to introduce more variety and colors.
- This fruit salad is best enjoyed on the day it is made to maintain freshness and prevent fruit from becoming soggy.
