Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved (about 300g / 10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup blueberries (150g / 5.3 oz)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (165g / 5.8 oz), fresh or canned (drained)
  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced (about 200g / 7 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (60ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30ml / 1 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash all the fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries, dice the mango into bite-sized pieces, and chop the pineapple if using fresh. Keep blueberries whole.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy. Warm honey briefly if thick.
  3. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit in a large mixing bowl. Add chopped fresh mint if using. Gently toss to coat all fruit without mashing.
  4. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to marry.

Notes

[‘Use ripe, seasonal fruit for best flavor and texture.’, ‘A pinch of salt in the dressing brightens the flavors.’, ‘Chop fruit evenly for balanced bites and better presentation.’, ‘Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for best taste.’, ‘Make ahead up to 24 hours but avoid longer to prevent fruit from becoming watery.’, ‘If honey is not preferred, substitute with pure maple syrup or agave nectar.’, ‘Toss fruit with dressing just before serving to avoid watery salad.’, ‘Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.’]
