Here’s a bright, refreshing, and naturally sweet Fresh Fruit Salad that works as a snack, dessert, or breakfast side.
🍓 Fresh Fruit Salad
Serves: 4–6 | Prep: 10–15 min
Ingredients
-
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup blueberries
-
1 cup pineapple, diced
-
1 cup grapes, halved if large
-
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
-
1 orange, peeled and segmented
-
1 banana, sliced (add last to avoid browning)
Optional Dressing
-
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup
-
Juice of ½ lime or lemon
-
A few fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine all the prepared fruit except banana.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together honey/maple syrup, lime/lemon juice, and mint (if using).

Drizzle dressing over fruit and gently toss to combine.
-
Add banana slices just before serving. Chill for 15–30 minutes for best flavor.
Tips for Perfect Fruit Salad
-
Use ripe, in-season fruit for the sweetest taste.
-
Prevent browning: toss banana and apple slices in a little citrus juice.
-
Add crunch: top with toasted coconut, nuts, or granola.
-
Add a creamy twist: stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of orange juice.
This is light, colorful, and naturally hydrating—perfect for hot days, brunch, or as a healthy dessert.
I can also make a tropical version with mango, papaya, and passionfruit if you want something exotic and extra vibrant.
