Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 3 whole Kiwi
- 2 whole Oranges
- 1 cup Red Grapes
- 1 medium Apple
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves
Instructions
Rinse all fruits thoroughly under cool water to ensure they are clean. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Hull and quarter the strawberries. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the blueberries to the bowl with the strawberries.
Peel the kiwi and slice them into half-moons. Add these slices to the bowl.
Peel and segment the oranges. Cut each segment into halves and add them to the fruit mixture.
Cut the grapes in half, removing any seeds if necessary, and add them to the bowl.
Core and chop the apple into bite-sized pieces. Toss these into the fruit medley.
Zest and juice the lime. Pour the juice over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine. The lime juice will not only enhance the flavors but also help prevent the apple from browning.
Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle over the fruit. Toss gently to mix everything well.
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving or enjoy immediately as a refreshing, heart-healthy treat.
