Ingredients
Fruit Salad
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries halved and sliced ⅓ inch
- 1½ cups fresh blackberries
- 1½ cups fresh raspberries
- 3 ripe kiwis peeled, halved, and sliced ⅓ inch
- 1 Tbsp fresh mint leaves chiffonade (approx. 5 leaves)
- A few small mint leaves for garnish
Dressing
- 1-2 Tbsp orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 Tbsp orange liqueur Cointreau – optional
- 1 lime just the zest
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
- Rinse all fruits and pat dry with a paper or tea towel to keep berries firm and allow the dressing to stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, Cointreau (if using), lime zest, and honey until fully combined.
- Add the blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, and chiffonade mint. Gently toss with salad servers until everything is coated with the citrus dressing.
- Garnish with small mint leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy
Notes
- Mint Chiffonade: Thin ribbons of mint distribute flavor and look pretty in the salad.
- Fruit Prep: Drying berries and kiwi before tossing keeps them firmer and fresher.
- Citrus Dressing: Adjust orange juice to taste; more juice gives extra brightness if skipping the Cointreau.
- Leftovers: Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Best eaten within 1–2 days.
