Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries
- 2 cups pineapple
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Wash and prepare the fruit. Hull and slice the strawberries, dice the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, and rinse and drain the blueberries.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and orange zest until the honey is fully dissolved.
Place the prepared fruit (strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries) into a large serving bowl.
Pour the citrus marinade over the fruit, gently tossing the fruit to ensure it is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, chop the mint leaves (if using) and sprinkle them over the top for a fresh garnish.
Serve chilled as is or alongside yogurt, granola, or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
