Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup kiwi, diced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash all fresh fruits under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Hull and slice strawberries into thin, uniform pieces, ensuring they are approximately 1/4 inch thick for consistent texture.
- Carefully dice kiwi fruit into small, bite-sized cubes, removing the fuzzy outer skin before cutting.
- Gently rinse blueberries and raspberries, checking for and removing any stems or damaged berries.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, whole raspberries, and diced kiwi.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together honey and fresh lemon juice until well blended to create a light dressing.
- Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture over the mixed fruits, using a soft spatula to gently fold and coat all fruits evenly.
- Cover the fruit salad and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and chill before serving.
- Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing and ensure even coating.
- Serve chilled in decorative bowls, optionally garnishing with a mint leaf for added freshness.
Tips
- Always choose fresh, ripe fruits at the peak of their season for maximum flavor and nutritional value.
- Use a sharp knife when cutting fruits to ensure clean, precise cuts and prevent bruising.
- Rinse berries gently to preserve their delicate structure and prevent crushing.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand for an extra refreshing presentation.
- For an elegant touch, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
- If preparing in advance, add the honey-lemon dressing just before serving to maintain the fruits' crisp texture.
- Experiment with additional fruits like mandarin oranges or pomegranate seeds for extra complexity.
