Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 cups Pineapple
- 3 pieces Kiwi
- 1 piece Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves
Instructions
Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing any seeds, and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Hull the strawberries, slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size, and add them to the bowl.
Add the blueberries directly to the bowl without cutting them.
Peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and mix it with the other fruits.
Peel the kiwis, slice them into rounds, and then cut each round into quarters. Add the kiwi pieces to the salad.
For the dressing, zest the lime and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the honey to the lime juice and whisk until well combined.
Pour the lime-honey dressing over the fruit salad and gently toss all the ingredients to coat them evenly without squishing the fruits.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad as a garnish.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing experience.
