Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and refreshing fruit salad featuring fresh mint that is perfect for summer. This low-calorie recipe is light, hydrating, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced (optional)
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all fruits under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, halve the grapes, dice the pineapple, and segment the orange carefully to remove membranes. Keep fruit pieces similar in size.
  2. Rinse fresh mint leaves and pat dry or use a salad spinner. Roughly chop the leaves without mincing too finely.
  3. In a small bowl, combine lime juice with honey or agave syrup if using. Whisk gently until blended.
  4. Place all prepared fruit in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the fruit, then sprinkle the chopped mint on top. Fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula to avoid bruising the fruit.
  5. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use firm but ripe fruit to avoid mushiness. Chop fruit uniformly for better flavor blending. Fold gently to keep fruit intact. Chill salad for at least 15 minutes before serving for best flavor. Add dressing just before serving if storing leftovers to prevent sogginess.
