Description

Refreshing Mojito Fruit Salad blends Cuban cocktail magic with fresh summer produce, creating a zesty flavor symphony. Cool mint, tangy lime, and sweet rum essence elevate crisp fruit into a delightful dessert you’ll crave all season long.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruits:

  • 2 cups diced fresh pineapple
  • 2 cups halved strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup diced kiwi

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

Herbs and Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Instructions

  1. Craft a zesty lime dressing by vigorously whisking honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, finely chopped mint, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully integrated.
  2. Prepare a vibrant fruit medley by delicately cubing pineapple, halving strawberries, adding whole blueberries, and dicing kiwi into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Scatter torn mint leaves throughout the fruit mixture, creating a fragrant and colorful base.
  4. Drizzle the prepared lime-honey dressing over the fruit ensemble, using a gentle folding technique to ensure each piece is lightly coated without bruising the delicate fruits.
  5. Refrigerate the salad for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify, creating a refreshing and cohesive tropical dessert.
  6. Before serving, give the salad a final gentle toss to redistribute the dressing and redistribute the mint leaves for maximum flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Opt for ripe, sweet fruits to enhance the natural flavors and ensure a vibrant, juicy salad.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for a more intense, aromatic taste that complements the citrusy lime dressing.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on the sweetness of the fruits to balance the overall flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately after chilling to maintain the crisp texture and prevent fruits from becoming too soft.
