Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cubed) Watermelon
- 1 cup (cubed) Pineapple
- 1 cup (cubed) Mango
- 2 medium (peeled and sliced) Kiwi
- 1 cup (halved) Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.25 cup (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Wash and prep all fruits. Cube the watermelon, pineapple, and mango. Peel and slice the kiwi. Hull and halve the strawberries. Set all the fruits aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the lime juice, honey, grated ginger, chopped mint, and lime zest.
Heat the saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring continuously, until the honey dissolves completely and the mixture is well incorporated. Do not bring it to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
Once the syrup has cooled, pour it over the prepped fruits in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss the fruits to coat them evenly with the syrup.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle toss and garnish with a few extra mint leaves, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing fruit salad!
