Fresh Fruit Salad

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

1. In a large bowl, combine all the prepared fruit except banana.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey/maple syrup, lime/lemon juice, and mint (if using).

3. Drizzle dressing over fruit and gently toss to combine.

4. 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.
