Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (hulled and halved) Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 cups (diced into bite-sized pieces) Pineapple
- 2 cups (seedless, halved if large) Grapes
- 1 cup (freshly squeezed) Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped, optional) Mint leaves
- 2 (sliced, optional; add right before serving to prevent browning) Bananas
Instructions
Wash and prepare all the fruits by hulling the strawberries, halving the large seedless grapes, and dicing the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Slice bananas last to keep them fresh if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice and honey until well combined. If using finely chopped mint, stir it into the mixture.
In a large serving bowl or container, gently combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and grapes.
Pour the orange juice and honey mixture evenly over the fruit. Toss gently to coat all the fruits with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the fruit salad to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
If using bananas, slice them just before serving and gently stir them into the fruit salad.
Serve the chilled fruit salad as is or garnished with extra mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
