Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 cups Pineapple
- 1 large Mango
- 2 medium Kiwi
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing your fruits. Chop the watermelon into bite-sized cubes (yielding about 4 cups). Hull and halve the strawberries. Peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the mango. Peel and slice the kiwi into thin rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, mango, and kiwi slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, the juice of the lime, and honey until well combined.
Pour the citrus-honey dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all of the fruit evenly with the dressing.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad. Gently toss again to distribute the mint throughout the salad.
Cover the fruit salad with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad one last gentle toss and transfer it to a serving bowl or onto individual plates.
