Description
This simple fruit salad with Honey Citrus Mint Glaze is a fresh, healthy, and easy side dish perfect for families. It offers a burst of natural sweetness and vibrant colors, making it an irresistible addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 cup cantaloupe or honeydew, cubed
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced (or orange segments, peeled and deseeded)
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, packed and finely chopped
- 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice, fresh-squeezed (or a mix of both)
Instructions
- Prepare Fruits: Gently wash all fruits under cool running water. Pat them dry, then chop into bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniform sizes (like 1-inch chunks) for easy eating.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup (60ml) honey, 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh citrus juice (lime or lemon), and 1 tablespoon (5g) finely chopped fresh mint until well combined to create the Honey Citrus Mint Glaze. (Optionally, muddle the mint in the honey and juice before whisking to release essential oils.)
- Combine Fruits: In a large serving bowl, combine all the chopped fruits.
- Glaze and Toss: Pour the Honey Citrus Mint Glaze evenly over the fruit salad. Gently toss the fruits using a large spoon or spatula to ensure every piece is beautifully coated and glistening. (If fruit is delicate, gently fold from the bottom up.)
- Chill and Serve: For the best, most refreshing flavor, chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. (For quick prep, use pre-cut melon or pineapple; for a spicier kick, add a tiny pinch of cayenne to the glaze; for extra tang, stir in another half tablespoon of lime juice.)
Notes
Choose organic and locally sourced fruits when possible for peak freshness. For a vegan option, substitute honey with agave or maple syrup. To make it lower-carb, focus on berries and avoid higher-sugar fruits like grapes or melon. Prioritize in-season fruits for best flavor. Look for firm, colorful fruits without blemishes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
