A quick, vibrant, and refreshing fruit salad featuring a honey-lime dressing that enhances the natural sweetness of a colorful mix of fresh fruits. Perfect as a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple, diced
  • 3 tablespoons honey, raw or pure
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all your fruit thoroughly. Hull and quarter the strawberries, halve the grapes, dice the mango and pineapple, peel and slice the kiwi, and leave blueberries whole. This should take about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of honey and the juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons). Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors. Adjust the honey or lime juice to taste if you prefer it sweeter or tangier.
  3. Place all the prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit.
  4. Gently fold the fruit with a spatula or large spoon until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the berries.
  5. For a refreshing twist, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint leaves and give the salad one last gentle toss (optional).
  6. Let the fruit salad sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld without making the fruit soggy.

Notes

Use ripe, fresh fruit for best flavor. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained. Avoid tossing the salad too far in advance to prevent sogginess. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving. For vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup. Optional fresh mint adds a cool herbal finish.
