Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups blueberries, fresh
2 cups kiwi, peeled and diced
2 cups pineapple, diced
2 cups watermelon, diced
1 cup grapes, halved
1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the fruits. Wash all the fruits thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry with a clean towel to ensure the dressing adheres well later.
Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. Make sure they are ripe for the best flavor; the slices should glisten and be juicy, showing off their luscious red interior.
Peel the kiwi and dice it into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin.
Dice the pineapple and watermelon into small cubes for easy serving. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even distribution in your fruit salad.
Halve the grapes, removing any stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all prepared fruits gently.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the honey (or agave syrup) and lime juice until well combined. If using mint, add it now.
Drizzle the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all the fruits evenly.
Let the fruit salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
Serve the fruit salad in chilled bowls or on a large platter for a stunning presentation.
