Method
Prepare Fruit
- 1
Wash and dry
Rinse all fruit under cold running water. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to prevent dilution of the dressing.
- 2
Hull and cut strawberries
Remove strawberry stems and cut them into quarters (or halves for very small berries). Place in a large mixing bowl.

Make Dressing & Combine
- 5
Mix dressing
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), orange zest, chopped mint, and a pinch of fine sea salt until the honey dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
- 6
Dress the fruit
Pour the dressing over the prepared fruit in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss with a large spoon or rubber spatula to coat all fruit pieces evenly, taking care not to mash soft berries.
- 7
Taste and adjust
Taste a small spoonful of the dressed fruit. If it needs more brightness, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon lime juice. If it needs more sweetness, stir in up to 1 teaspoon more honey or maple syrup.
- 8
Chill briefly (optional)
For best flavor melding, cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes. If serving immediately, you can skip chilling and serve right away.
Assemble & Serve
- 9
Portion fruit

Add toppings
If using, add a dollop (about 1/4 cup) of Greek or coconut yogurt to each portion. Sprinkle with toasted granola, chopped toasted nuts, and a pinch of chia seeds for texture.
- 11
Garnish
Garnish with a few whole mint leaves and serve with lemon or lime wedges on the side for extra brightness.
- 12
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that softer fruit may release juices over time; stir gently before serving.
