Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 large pineapple, peeled and chopped
- 18 oz blackberries
- 16 oz strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 12 oz blueberries
- 4 kiwi, peeled, sliced and halved
Dressing
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: In a large bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, blackberries, sliced strawberries, blueberries, and halved kiwi, ensuring all fruits are evenly mixed.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the orange zest, lime zest, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and poppy seeds until the honey has completely dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
- Toss the salad: Drizzle the citrus-honey dressing over the mixed fruit bowl. Gently stir the fruit until it is evenly coated with the dressing, taking care not to mash the berries.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the salad and serve immediately or chill briefly before serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the honey quantity to taste depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Optional: Add a splash of your favorite liqueur or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for extra flair.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
