A vibrant, refreshing fruit salad tossed in a silky honey-lime glaze and finished with fresh mint. Perfect for summer gatherings, brunches, or as a healthy dessert that bursts with color and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup pineapple, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 2 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 medium mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented (about 1/2 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and slice strawberries; peel and dice mango and pineapple. Halve grapes, slice kiwis, and peel and segment mandarins. Add blueberries last to minimize bruising.
  2. Place all prepped fruit in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently with a spatula or clean hands to avoid squishing berries or grapes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and glossy.
  4. Drizzle the honey lime glaze over the fruit. Gently fold the glaze into the salad until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle chopped mint over the salad and give another gentle toss.
  6. Optional: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill and deepen flavors.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl or tray. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a sprinkle of lime zest if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For vegan, substitute honey with agave or maple syrup. Use ripe but firm fruit for best texture. Toss glaze with fruit just before serving to keep salad crisp. Add mint gradually to taste. Chill for deeper flavor. Customize with seasonal fruits or herbs. If fruit releases excess juice, pour off before serving.
