Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks
- 2 whole Kiwi
- 1 cup Orange segments
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and orange segments. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds. Add the kiwi slices, pineapple chunks, and prepared strawberries to a large serving bowl along with the blueberries and orange segments.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, honey, and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the honey is fully dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the honey-lemon mixture along with the lemon zest. Let the sauce cool for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Drizzle the cooled lemon mint sauce over the fruit in the serving bowl. Gently toss the fruit and sauce together until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
