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
- Greek yogurt
- Granola
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, pineapple, and grapes to create a colorful base.
- Make the Dressing: In a small separate bowl, whisk together the citrus juice (orange or lemon) and honey or maple syrup until well blended to create a light, sweet dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly without bruising.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves. 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 dressing can be adjusted in sweetness according to your taste with honey or maple syrup.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and skip Greek yogurt or use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Make sure to gently toss the salad to avoid bruising delicate berries.
- The salad can be prepared a few hours ahead but is best served fresh for maximum crunch.
