Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mango.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest until well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all the fruits evenly. Be careful not to crush the more delicate berries.
  4. Let the fruit salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time helps the dressing penetrate the fruits and enhances the overall taste.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruits that will hold their shape when mixed. If preparing ahead, mix dressing separately and toss with fruits just before serving. Adjust honey/lime ratio to taste - more honey for sweeter fruits or extra lime for tangier flavor.
