Indulge in the ultimate summertime treat with this vibrant and creamy Fruit Salad with Cream! Packed with juicy strawberries, plump blueberries, sweet grapes, and tropical bursts of kiwi and banana alongside crisp apple cubes, this healthy yet decadent dish is a feast for the senses. The luscious cream dressing, made with heavy cream, Greek yogurt, honey, and a hint of vanilla extract, coats the medley of fruits perfectly, adding a silky texture and subtle sweetness. A splash of lemon juice keeps the colors bright, while freshly chopped mint leaves deliver a refreshing finish. Quick to prepare and served chilled for optimal flavor, this fruit salad is perfect as an elegant dessert or side dish at picnics, potlucks, or family dinners.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Rinse and drain the blueberries and grapes. Remove the grapes from their stems.
Peel the kiwi and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds.
Core the apple and chop it into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added color and texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits: strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, banana, and apple.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
Pour the cream mixture over the fruit and gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Add the lemon juice to the salad and give it another gentle stir. This will help prevent the apple and banana from browning.
Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the fruit salad for a fresh aroma and touch of color.
Serve the fruit salad with cream in individual bowls or a large serving dish and enjoy!
