Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 mangoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 4 oz pineapple chunks (canned, preferably Dole for consistent sweetness)
- 3.5 oz grapes
- 14.1 oz mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and halved strawberries)
- 1 orange
Dressing
- 2 tsp honey (preferably Nature Nate’s raw honey for floral notes)
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Peel and slice the kiwi into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice the mangoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Halve the strawberries if using whole ones in the mixed berries. Peel the orange and segment or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine fruits: In a large bowl, gently mix the kiwi, mango, pineapple chunks, grapes, mixed berries, and orange pieces, ensuring an even distribution of each fruit.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until well combined to create a light, flavorful dressing.
- Toss the salad: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the mixed fruits. Gently toss the salad to coat all the fruit pieces evenly without bruising them.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the fruit salad for about 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh fruits for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- If canned pineapple is not available, fresh pineapple can be substituted but adjust the sweetness accordingly.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Serve immediately after tossing if you prefer a firmer fruit texture, or chill to blend flavors.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
