Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Pineapple
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Lime zest
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry all the fruits and herbs.
Hull and quarter the strawberries, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Add the blueberries to the bowl with the rest of the fruit.
Finely chop the mint leaves and basil leaves, ensuring they are small enough to distribute evenly, but not so fine that they lose texture. Add the herbs to the fruit bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and herbs, then gently toss to combine, ensuring all the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
Refrigerate the salad for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a fresher presentation.
Garnish with a few extra whole mint or basil leaves before serving, if desired.
