Here’s a fresh, vibrant Fruit Salad—easy, colorful, and perfect as a dessert, breakfast, or snack. 🍓🍍🍇
This serves 4–6 people.
Fresh Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup grapes, halved if large
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 1 cup kiwi, diced
- 1 apple or pear, diced (optional, toss in lemon juice to prevent browning)
- 2 tbsp orange juice or lemon juice
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop all fruit into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine all the fruit gently.
- Drizzle with orange or lemon juice to add flavor and prevent browning.
- Add honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
- Toss lightly to mix.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately, or chill for 30–60 minutes for a refreshing treat.
Tips
- Seasonal fruits: Use whatever is fresh—berries, melons, peaches, or pomegranate seeds are great.
- Texture contrast: Add nuts (almonds, walnuts) or seeds (chia, sunflower) for crunch.
- Creamy version: Fold in a few tablespoons of yogurt or whipped cream before serving.
- Make-ahead: Best made the same day; some fruits like apples or bananas brown quickly.
If you want, I can also give a luxury holiday fruit salad with citrus segments, pomegranate, candied ginger, and a light honey-lime dressing—it’s visually stunning and very festive.
Do you want me to do that?
