Fruit Salad Recipe

[Serene]

Oh so sweet!

Ingredients:​

For the Fruit Salad:​

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 cup grapes, halved if large
• 1 large apple, cored and chopped
• 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped mango (optional)

For the Dressing (Optional):​

• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Fruit:
   • Wash and prepare all the fruit as indicated. Make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
   • Combine all the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
2. Make the Dressing (Optional):
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine and Toss:
   • If using the dressing, pour it over the fruit and gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly.
   • If you prefer your fruit salad without dressing, simply toss the fruit together and serve.
4. Chill (Optional):
   • For the best flavor, let the fruit salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls or on a large platter. Garnish with a sprig of mint if desired.

Tips:​

• Fruit Selection: Feel free to substitute or add other fruits based on what's in season or your personal preference. Some great additions include peaches, nectarines, pomegranate seeds, or raspberries.
• Make Ahead: Fruit salad can be made a day in advance, but it’s best to add fruits like bananas and apples just before serving to prevent browning.
• Storage: Store any leftover fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing fruit salad!
