Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 pound strawberries (fresh, hulled and quartered)
- 1 pineapple (fresh, peeled and cut into cubes)
- 3 mandarin oranges (fresh, peeled and separated into segments)
- 2 mangoes (fresh, peeled and cut into cubes)
- 1 pound kiwis (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 1 pound red grapes (cut in half)
- 18 ounces blueberries (fresh)
Dressing
- 2 limes (juiced)
- ¼ cup honey
- OR 1 cup Greek yogurt (for a creamy dressing)
Garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Chop the Fruit: Wash, peel, and chop all the fresh fruit as described: hull and quarter the strawberries, peel and cube the pineapple, peel and separate the mandarin oranges, peel and cube the mangoes, peel and cube the kiwis, halve the red grapes, and prepare the blueberries. Combine all the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey until well combined. Alternatively, for a creamy dressing, whisk Greek yogurt and honey together until smooth.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the mixed fruit and gently toss all the ingredients together to evenly coat the fruit with the dressing without bruising it.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing, then garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for an added burst of freshness and color.
Notes
- Using fresh, ripe fruit ensures the best flavor and texture.
- For a dairy-free option, stick with the honey-lime dressing instead of yogurt.
- This salad is best served chilled but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Feel free to substitute or add seasonal fruits such as peaches or blueberries based on availability.
- Gently toss the fruit to avoid breaking softer berries.
