Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g strawberries
- 200 g grapes (red or green seedless)
- 3 pieces kiwis
- 1 large peach
- 1 large orange
- 1 piece lemon
- 2 tbsp honey
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 30 g optional: almonds or pistachios (sliced or chopped)
Instructions
Wash all the fruits thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
Halve the grapes if they are large, or leave them whole if small.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or small chunks.
Slice the peach into thin wedges after removing the pit.
Peel the orange, separate the segments, and remove any seeds and the white membrane for a clean look.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lemon and the honey until well combined to create the dressing.
Gently toss all the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl to combine them evenly.
Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the fruit mixture and toss lightly to coat the fruits without breaking them apart.
Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad for a refreshing aroma.
Optionally, scatter sliced or chopped almonds or pistachios on top for added crunch.
Serve immediately as a chilled option or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving for a cooler treat.
