Ingredients
Strawberry Mint Dressing
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Fruit Salad
- 2 cups chopped watermelon
- 2 cups chopped pineapple
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 mango, chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- Fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: Place all the dressing ingredients (2 cups strawberries, 1/4 cup fresh mint, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice) into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well blended, forming a flavorful strawberry mint dressing.
- Layer the Fruit in Mason Jars: Divide the dressing evenly among four standard-sized mason jars. Then, layer the chopped fruits starting with watermelon at the bottom, followed by pineapple, then strawberries and mango mixed together in the middle, and finish with blueberries on top to create a colorful and attractive presentation.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish each mason jar with a sprig of fresh mint for added aroma and freshness. To serve, simply pour the contents of each jar into a bowl and toss gently to combine the dressing with the fruit. Alternatively, seal the jars and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days for later enjoyment.
Notes
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the fruit may release some juices over time.
- You can substitute any seasonal fruits of your choice to customize the salad.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
- To keep the fruit salad crisp, add the dressing just before serving if preparing ahead.
- Use ripe and fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
