Scale
Fruit
- 27.5 oz pineapple (5 cups chopped)
- 16 oz strawberries (about 3 cups)
- 10 oz blueberries (2 cups)
- 10 oz grapes (1.5 cups red or green, seedless)
- 8 oz blackberries (1.5 cups)
- 5.4 oz raspberries (1 cup)
- 8.4 oz kiwi (3 medium)
Dressing
- 1/4 cup lime juice (from 2 limes)
- 2 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup/agave)
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional for extra tang)
- 1-2 tsp lime zest (from 1 lime)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and thoroughly dry all the fruits carefully, especially the berries, to avoid bruising and prevent spoilage.
- Chop the Fruit: Peel, core, and chop the pineapple; peel and chop the kiwi; de-stem and slice the strawberries. Add these prepared fruits to a large bowl along with the blueberries, grapes, blackberries, and raspberries.
- Make the Dressing: Zest and juice one lime. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, honey, apple cider vinegar (if using), and lime zest until well combined.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly without crushing them.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fruit salad as is or with optional additions like vanilla yogurt, whipped cream or coconut cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts such as walnuts, pistachios, almonds, or pecans.
Notes
- Drying fruit thoroughly before combining helps prolong freshness and prevent spoilage.
- The apple cider vinegar in the dressing is optional but adds a nice tangy contrast.
- This fruit salad is versatile and can be enhanced with dairy or non-dairy toppings and nuts for texture and flavor.
- Perfect for serving at potlucks, BBQs, picnics, brunches, or light family meals.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and sweetness.
