Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 10 oz)
  • 2 cups pineapple, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks (about 10 oz)
  • 1 cup blueberries (about 5 oz)
  • 2 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced (about 5 oz)
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved (about 5 oz, seedless)
  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced (about 10 oz)
  • 2 medium mandarin oranges, segmented (or 1 cup canned, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry.
  2. Hull and slice strawberries; peel and dice mango, pineapple, and kiwi; halve grapes; segment mandarin oranges (drain canned fruit if using).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, and lime zest to make the dressing.
  4. Place all prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the top.
  5. Add chopped fresh mint if desired. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruit without mashing.
  6. Optional: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  7. Transfer fruit salad to a serving platter or clear bowl. Garnish with extra mint leaves or lime zest if desired.
  8. If prepping ahead, add apples or bananas just before serving to avoid browning.
  9. Gently drain excess juice before serving if needed.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit for best texture. Toss gently to avoid mashing. For vegan, swap honey for agave or maple syrup. Add apples or bananas just before serving to prevent browning. Chill for 30 minutes for deeper flavor. Mix and match fruits based on season or preference.
