Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups pineapple, cubed
- 2 cups grapes, halved
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of sliced strawberries, 2 cups of blueberries, 2 cups of cubed pineapple, 2 cups of halved grapes, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Rinse all the fresh fruits under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, cubed pineapple, and halved grapes. Gently toss the fruits together to mix them evenly without bruising them.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice until well combined. This will create a sweet dressing that enhances the flavors of the fruit.
- Drizzle the honey and lemon juice mixture over the fruit salad. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently fold the dressing into the fruit, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Once the fruit is well mixed with the dressing, taste the salad. If desired, you can add a bit more honey for sweetness or a splash more lemon juice for acidity, adjusting to your preference.
- Transfer the fruit salad to a large serving bowl or individual cups for presentation. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving if you prefer it cold.
- Serve the fruit salad immediately or cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy this refreshing and colorful dish with your guests!
Tips

- Prep Technique Matters: Cut fruits into uniform sizes to ensure even distribution and a beautiful presentation.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to enhance the refreshing taste.
- Serve Immediately: Fruit salads are best enjoyed fresh, so prepare close to serving time to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
- Customize to Taste: Feel free to swap fruits based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
- Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor in your dressing.
