  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
  • juice of 1 lemon or lime
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing all your fruits thoroughly under cold water. Slice the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwifruit, and cut the watermelon, pineapple, and grapes as directed.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits. Toss them softly to keep their shape.
  3. Squeeze the juice of a lemon or lime evenly over the fruit mixture to enhance flavors. Drizzle honey or agave syrup if desired, and gently stir to combine.
  4. Transfer the fruit salad to a chilled serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving for added freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh, seasonal fruits for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Prepare the salad a few hours ahead for maximum convenience, adding citrus juice just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Avoid over-mixing to prevent bruising fruits.
  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoyed within 24 hours.
