Seasonal fruits tossed in a honey-lemon mint dressing for a refreshing and colorful dish.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fresh Fruit

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 1 cup blueberries
03 - 1 cup pineapple, cut into bite-size pieces
04 - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
05 - 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
06 - 1 orange, peeled and segmented

→ Dressing

07 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
08 - 1 tablespoon honey
09 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint

# Directions:

01 - Place all prepared fruits into a large mixing bowl and gently combine.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and chopped mint until well blended.
03 - Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat everything evenly without bruising the fruit.
04 - Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for 20 minutes for a refreshing chilled presentation.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • There is zero cooking involved, which means you can make this half asleep and still feel accomplished.
  • The honey lemon dressing sounds simple but it pulls every flavor together like a quiet little miracle.
02 -
  • Do not dress the fruit more than an hour ahead or the berries will weep and the kiwi turns mushy before anyone gets to enjoy it.
  • Cutting everything to roughly the same size matters more than you think, because one giant pineapple chunk beside a blueberry is a strange bite.
03 -
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the dressing wakes up the sweetness in ways people never expect but always notice.
  • Chill your serving bowl in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling and the whole dish stays cold longer on a buffet table.
