Breakfast Fruit Salad
A vibrant, refreshing, and nutrient-packed bowl of seasonal fruits tossed in a zesty honey-lime dressing that makes for the perfect morning pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- •2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- •2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks
- •2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- •2 cups fresh blueberries
- •2 kiwis, peeled and sliced into half-moons
- •1 large banana, sliced
- •2 tablespoons clover honey
- •1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- •1 teaspoon lime zest
- •1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth to create the dressing.
- 2
Place the prepared strawberries, pineapple, mangoes, blueberries, and kiwis into a large mixing bowl.
- 3
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and toss gently with a large spoon to coat everything evenly.
- 4
Just before serving, fold in the sliced bananas and fresh mint to keep the bananas from browning too quickly.
- 5
Serve immediately in chilled bowls, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or granola.
💡 Chef tips
- To make this ahead of time, prepare all the fruit except the banana and keep the dressing separate; combine everything right before serving to maintain the best texture.
- Feel free to swap fruits based on what is in season, such as adding grapes, raspberries, or melon chunks.
- If you prefer a creamier salad, stir in a half-cup of vanilla Greek yogurt just before serving.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished salad should be a colorful, glistening medley of fruit that smells bright and citrusy, with a perfect balance of natural sweetness and refreshing tartness.
