Fresh Seasonal Fruit Bowl (Printable Version)
A refreshing medley of seasonal fruits with a zesty honey-lemon dressing, ready in just 15 minutes.
# Ingredient List:
→ 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 (or maple syrup for vegan option)
09 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
# How to Make:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, and orange segments. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version), and finely chopped mint until well blended.
03 - Drizzle the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly without bruising the fruit.
04 - Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving for a refreshing chilled bowl.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes fifteen minutes from fridge to table and requires zero cooking whatsoever.
- The optional honey lemon mint dressing makes plain fruit taste like something you ordered at a cafe.
02 -
- Do not dress the fruit more than an hour ahead or the berries will weep and the whole bowl turns sad and soupy.
- Cutting all the fruit to roughly the same size matters more than you think because nobody wants a giant pineapple chunk landing on their spoon next to a single blueberry.
03 -
- Pat the fruit dry with a clean towel after washing so the dressing actually clings instead of sliding off on a film of water.
- Letting the bowl sit for just five minutes after tossing gives the dressing time to settle into every crevice and makes each bite better.
