Fresh fruit

Optional finishing & dressing

Method

Fresh fruit

  1. 1

    Prepare strawberries

    Rinse 2 cups strawberries under cold running water. Hull (remove green caps) and slice each strawberry into halves or quarters depending on size so pieces are roughly 1/2–3/4 inch.

  2. 2

    Prepare blueberries

    Rinse 1 cup blueberries, drain in a colander, and pick through to remove any stems or damaged berries.

  3. 3

    Prepare grapes

    Rinse 1 cup seedless green grapes, drain, and halve larger grapes. Leave small grapes whole.

  4. 4

    Prepare pineapple

    If using fresh pineapple, cut off top and bottom, stand upright and slice away the skin. Remove core and cut the flesh into bite-sized 3/4-inch cubes for about 1 cup. If using canned pineapple, drain and roughly chop to equal 1 cup.

  5. 5

    Prepare kiwi

    Peel 2 kiwis and slice into 1/4-inch rounds or half-moons.

  6. 6

    Prepare orange

    Peel 1 orange, remove any white pith, and segment or slice into bite-sized pieces (cut between membranes for clean segments) to yield about 1 cup of fruit.

  7. 7

    Combine fruits

    Gently place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl. Toss carefully with a large spoon to combine without crushing delicate berries.

Optional finishing & dressing

  1. 8

    Make honey-lime dressing

    In a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice until smooth. If honey is thick, briefly warm it or thin with a few drops of warm water. Add 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt and whisk to dissolve.

  2. 9

    Dress fruit

    Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the combined fruit and toss gently to coat evenly. Taste and add more lime or honey if desired.

  3. 10

    Finish and serve

    Tear or finely chiffonade 8 mint leaves and scatter over the fruit. Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days; stir gently before serving as juices may collect.
