2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 cup seedless green or red grapes, halved
1 cup strawberries, peeled and quartered
1 cup diced mango
2 bananas, sliced
1 orange, peeled and segmented
1 apple, diced (any variety)
Juice of 1 lime (to prevent browning and add tart flavor)
1-2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the fruit:
Wash all fruit thoroughly. Dice, slice and peel as needed, making sure each piece is bite-sized so it’s easy to eat.
Combine the ingredients:
Place pineapple, grapes, strawberries, mango, banana, orange segments and apple in a large bowl.
Add the lime juice:
Drizzle the lime juice over the fruit. This not only enhances the flavor, but also prevents fruits like apples and bananas from turning brown.
Sweeten (optional):
If you prefer a slightly sweeter salad, drizzle the fruit with honey and toss gently.
Chill:
Place the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to cool.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and additional flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
