Fresh Fruit Salad

Absolutely! A fresh fruit salad is a simple, refreshing, and colorful dish that works as a snack, dessert, or side. Here’s a versatile and delicious recipe:

Fresh Fruit Salad

Ingredients (serves 4–6):

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 cup grapes, halved if large

• 1 cup melon (cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed

• 1 cup pineapple, cubed

• 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced

• 1–2 tbsp fresh orange juice (optional, adds extra flavor and prevents browning)

• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare fruit:

   • Wash, peel, and cut all fruits into bite-sized pieces.

2. Mix dressing (optional):

   • In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice and honey.

3. Combine:

   • In a large bowl, gently toss all the fruit together.

   • Drizzle with the orange juice-honey mixture if using.

4. Garnish & serve:

   • Top with fresh mint leaves.

   • Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill for 30 minutes for a cold, refreshing salad.

💡 Tips for the Best Fruit Salad:

• Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor.

• Avoid fruits that brown too quickly (like apples or bananas) unless you toss them in citrus juice.

• For extra flair, sprinkle toasted coconut, nuts, or a few pomegranate seeds on top.

If you want, I can also give a “fancier, tropical version” with mango, passionfruit, and a light citrus-mint dressing that’s perfect for summer gatherings or brunch.
