Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup seedless red and green grapes, halved
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented (or 1 cup clementine segments)
- 3 tablespoons pure honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Rinse all fruits thoroughly. Prepare strawberries, pineapple, and grapes as listed. Slice strawberries thinly and halve grapes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all prepared fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed and retain their vibrant colors.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if desired.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss with a large spoon until all fruits are lightly coated. Add mint leaves (if using) and toss one final time.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (optional) to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
Notes
- Customize with seasonal fruit substitutions such as diced mango, kiwi, or pitted cherries. Avoid overly juicy fruits that may make the salad soggy.
- For extended freshness, prepare fruits without dressing until ready to serve to preserve crunch and prevent bruising.
- Add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) for added texture.
