Description
A bright and easy fruit salad that’s perfect for busy evenings, utilizing fresh berries and a simple honey-lime dressing.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 piece apple, cored and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 piece orange, peeled and segmented or cut into bite-size pieces
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (Use maple syrup for a vegan option.)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 6 leaves fresh mint, thinly sliced (optional) (Can be omitted if desired.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash all the berries and drain them well. Pat them dry if needed.
- Hull and quarter the strawberries. Cut the apple into bite-size pieces. Segment the orange or chop it if you prefer.
- In a small bowl, whisk the honey with the lime juice and orange zest until smooth. Taste and add a touch more honey if you like it sweeter.
- Put all the fruit in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the fruit. Add the mint if using.
- Gently toss once or twice to coat. Stop. You want the fruit intact, not mushy.
- Chill for 15 to 30 minutes if you have time. Serve cold.
Notes
Fruit salad keeps in the fridge for one to two days. Store it in an airtight container. The berries will soften over time. If rushed, avoid over-mixing to maintain fruit integrity.
