Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup grapes, halved
Dressing
- Juice of 1 orange or lemon (for freshness)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Garnish and Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Greek yogurt or granola (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple chunks, and grapes.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the citrus juice (orange or lemon) and honey or maple syrup until well combined to create a light, tangy dressing.
- Toss Salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly without bruising or mashing them.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves and optionally add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle granola on top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- The honey or maple syrup in the dressing is optional depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
- Chilling the salad enhances the flavors but if short on time, it can be served immediately.
- Adding Greek yogurt or granola provides protein and crunch but can be omitted to keep it lighter or vegan if using plant-based yogurt.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh and within one day of preparation to maintain fruit texture and freshness.
