Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup mango, diced
- Juice of 1 lemon or lime
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Optional: honey or agave syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
- Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull, slice, and dice fruits like strawberries, pineapple, mango, and kiwi as listed in the ingredients. For uniformity, aim for bite-sized pieces to make the fruit salad easy to serve and enjoy.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits. Be careful not to mash or crush the delicate pieces to preserve their freshness and presentation.
- Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over the mixed fruits to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor. For extra sweetness, drizzle with honey or agave syrup, and gently toss to evenly distribute.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Notes
- Use seasonal, ripe fruits for maximum flavor and freshness.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the salad fresh for 1-2 days.
- Add dressing separately if making in advance to prevent fruit from becoming soggy.
- Enhance flavor with optional ingredients like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a splash of fruit juice.
