Scale
For the Fruit Salad
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- Optional: 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced (for color contrast)
- Optional: 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (for crunch and color)
For the Citrus-Honey Dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest or orange zest
- Optional: 1 teaspoon finely chopped mint or basil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fruit
- Wash and pat dry all berries gently using paper towels.
- Hull and slice the strawberries into thin rounds or halves, depending on size.
- Dice mangoes into bite-sized cubes. To do this, slice along both sides of the mango pit, score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, and scoop out the cubes with a spoon.
- If using kiwi or pomegranate seeds, prep and add to the fruit mix.
- Place all prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.
2. Make the Citrus-Honey Dressing
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together fresh orange juice, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup).
- Add optional zest and fresh chopped mint for added brightness and a hint of herbal freshness.
- Taste and adjust citrus or sweetness as needed to suit your preference.
3. Toss the Fruit Salad
- Pour the dressing over the prepared fruits.
- Gently toss with a large spoon or silicone spatula to coat the fruit without bruising the berries.
- Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
4. Serve
- Serve the fruit salad chilled in individual bowls or on a platter.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves or citrus zest for presentation.
- Optional: top with a dollop of yogurt or granola for added texture.
