Fresh Fruit

Method

Fresh Fruit

  1. 1

    Prepare strawberries

    Rinse strawberries under cold water, pat dry, hull and quarter them so pieces are roughly 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Prepare pineapple

    Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into 1/2-inch dice. Alternatively use pre-cut fresh pineapple and trim to bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare grapes and blueberries

    Rinse grapes and blueberries. If grapes are large, halve them; leave blueberries whole. Drain well.

  4. 4

    Prepare kiwifruit, mango and apple

    Peel and slice the kiwi, then quarter slices. Peel and dice the mango into 1/2-inch pieces. Core the apple and dice into similar-sized pieces; toss the apple immediately with half the lime juice to slow browning.

  5. 5

    Combine all prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl and gently fold together so colors and textures are evenly distributed.

Dressing & Finish

  1. 6

    Make the dressing

    In a small bowl whisk together the remaining lime juice, honey, chopped mint, and sea salt until honey is dissolved and the dressing is smooth. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper if using.

  2. 7

    Pour the dressing over the bowl of mixed fruit. Gently toss the fruit with two large spoons to coat evenly, taking care not to crush delicate berries.

  3. 8

    Taste and adjust: add up to 1 tsp more honey if you prefer sweeter, or a little more lime juice for brightness.

  4. 9

    Chill the fruit cup for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately at room temperature. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves if desired.
