Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 1 cup Grapes red or green, seedless
  • 2 cups Melon cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup Pineapple fresh, cubed
  • 2 Kiwi peeled and sliced

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. For berries, remove any stems. For grapes, pluck them from the vine. For melons and pineapple, carefully cut off the rind and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Peel and slice the kiwis, and for oranges, remove the peel and white pith, then segment them.
  4. In a large bowl, combine all the prepared fruits. Gently toss them to ensure an even mix, being careful not to bruise softer fruits.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and chill the salad thoroughly.
  6. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, which adds a refreshing aroma and visual appeal to your 5-star fruit salad.

Notes

For an extra touch, you can drizzle a light honey-lime dressing over the fruit salad before chilling. Adjust fruit quantities based on preference and availability, always aiming for a variety of colors and textures.
