Fruit

Method

Prepare Fruit

1

Wash and dry

Rinse all berries, grapes, kiwi, and mango under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture so the salad doesn't become watery.

2

Hull and cut berries

Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size so pieces are bite-sized and similar in size to the other fruit.

3

Peel and dice the pineapple and mango into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. Peel and slice the kiwi. Halve grapes if large. Slice the banana just before combining to prevent browning.

Make Dressing

4

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), finely chopped mint, and orange zest until the honey is dissolved and mixture is smooth. If you prefer a creamy dressing, whisk in the Greek yogurt until smooth and combined.

Assemble Salad

5

Place all prepared fruit (strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi, mango) in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced banana last.

6

Pour the dressing over the fruit. Gently toss with a large spoon or salad servers until fruit is evenly coated. Be gentle to avoid crushing delicate berries.

7

Taste and adjust: add a little more honey if you like it sweeter, or a squeeze more lime for extra brightness.

Finish & Serve

8

Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Sprinkle toasted chopped nuts on top for crunch, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and finish with a light pinch of flaky sea salt if using.

9

Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to let flavors meld. If refrigerated, add banana just before serving to avoid sogginess.
