Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Seedless green grapes
- 1 cup Seedless red grapes
- 1 cup Pineapple (fresh, diced)
- 1 cup Strawberries (hulled and quartered)
- 1 medium Orange (peeled, segmented, and diced)
- 1 medium Apple (crisp variety, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
Wash and dry all the fruits thoroughly.
Cut the green and red grapes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Hull and quarter the strawberries, then mix them in with the grapes and pineapple.
Peel the orange, remove the segments, chop them into smaller pieces, and add to the fruit mixture.
Peel and core the apple, dice it into small pieces, and toss it with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning before adding to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, honey, chopped mint leaves, and orange zest to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mixed fruit and gently toss until all the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit cup mixture to individual serving bowls or a large serving dish.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired, and serve.
