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
- 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.
- Prepare a vibrant fruit medley by delicately cubing pineapple, halving strawberries, adding whole blueberries, and dicing kiwi into bite-sized pieces.
- Scatter torn mint leaves throughout the fruit mixture, creating a fragrant and colorful base.
- 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.
- Refrigerate the salad for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify, creating a refreshing and cohesive tropical dessert.
- 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.
