Ingredients
Scale
- About 4 cups seasonal fruits (such as cherries, pitted and halved)
- Peach or nectarine, sliced
- Kiwi, peeled and chopped
- Green grapes, halved
- Blueberries or raspberries (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A handful fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly.
- Pit and halve the cherries, slice the peach or nectarine, peel and chop the kiwi, and halve the grapes. Leave blueberries or raspberries whole if using.
- Place all the prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl and gently toss with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to combine without crushing the fruit.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and honey or maple syrup. Toss gently again to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves and orange zest over the top and give one last gentle toss. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Notes
Do not prepare the salad more than an hour in advance to avoid mushy fruit. Keep fruit and dressing separate if prepping ahead. Use gentle tossing to avoid bruising fruit. Add mint leaves just before serving to maintain freshness.
