Print Recipe

A refreshing and easy-to-make summer fruit salad featuring a sweet honey-lime dressing and fresh mint, perfect for a light and satisfying snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium mango, diced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and quarter the strawberries, halve the grapes, peel and slice the kiwi, dice the mango and pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Place all the fruit gently into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine the honey and fresh lime juice. Stir or shake until the honey fully dissolves into the lime juice. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors.
  3. Lightly bruise the fresh mint leaves by pressing them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint’s essential oils without shredding the leaves. Add the bruised mint to the honey-lime dressing and stir to combine.
  4. Pour the honey lime mint dressing over the fruit bowl. Gently toss everything until the fruit is evenly coated, avoiding overmixing to keep the fruit intact.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Gently bruise the mint leaves instead of chopping finely to release aroma without overpowering the salad. Chill the salad for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and the dressing become slightly syrupy. Store fruit and dressing separately if preparing ahead to avoid sogginess. Use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version. Avoid freezing leftovers as fruit texture will be lost.
