Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (e.g., pineapple, mango, berries)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prepare the fruits by peeling and cutting them into bite-sized, uniform pieces. For pineapple, remove the outer skin and core, then dice. Peel and cube the mango. If using berries, gently rinse and pat dry.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well incorporated and form a smooth dressing.
- Place the prepared fruit pieces in a large serving bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit, gently tossing to coat all pieces evenly. Use a soft spatula or spoon to mix, being careful not to crush the delicate fruits.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and slightly chill the fruit.
- Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle stir and transfer to individual serving dishes.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, torn or chopped, to add a bright, aromatic finish to the salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, sweet, and tangy fruit salad.
Tips
- Choose fruits at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Cut fruits into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even dressing distribution.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant taste.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand to keep the salad cool and refreshing.
- Add the honey-lime dressing just before serving to prevent fruits from becoming soggy.
- For extra texture, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut or chopped nuts.
- If preparing in advance, add mint leaves just before serving to maintain their fresh appearance and flavor.
- Experiment with seasonal fruits to keep the salad exciting and varied.
