Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup grapes
- 1 banana
- 1 apple
- 1 orange
- 1 cup blueberries
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Rinse all the fruits under cold water. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves. Slice the grapes in half. Peel the banana and cut it into slices. Core the apple and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Peel the orange and separate it into segments.
- Combine the fruits: Place all the prepared fruits into a large bowl, ensuring they are evenly mixed.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and fresh lemon juice until well combined to create a light, sweet, and tangy dressing.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture evenly over the fruit bowl. Gently toss the fruits to coat them with the dressing without bruising the delicate pieces.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors or refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled treat.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- For variation, you can add other summer fruits like peaches or cherries.
- To prevent bananas from browning, toss them with a little extra lemon juice before combining with other fruits.
- This salad is best served fresh; avoid storing for more than a day to keep fruit from becoming mushy.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a different flavor profile or for a vegan option.
