Fresh Fruit Bowl (Print version)
A refreshing medley of seasonal fruits with a zesty honey-lemon dressing, ready in just 15 minutes.
# What goes in:
→ Fresh Fruit
01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 1 cup blueberries
03 - 1 cup pineapple, cut into bite-size pieces
04 - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
05 - 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
06 - 1 orange, peeled and segmented
→ Dressing
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
08 - 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
09 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
# Cooking steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits — strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, and orange segments.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative), and finely chopped mint until well blended.
03 - Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat evenly, taking care not to crush the softer berries.
04 - Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for 20 minutes for a refreshing chilled presentation.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- The honey lemon dressing pulls every flavor together without masking the natural sweetness of each fruit.
- It takes fifteen minutes from cutting board to table and looks like something from a magazine.
- Naturally gluten free and vegan friendly so you can serve it at nearly any gathering without worry.
02 -
- Cut all the fruit to roughly the same size so every spoonful feels balanced and easy to eat.
- Wait to add the dressing until right before serving because the acid will slowly soften delicate fruit over time.
03 -
- Chill your serving bowl in the freezer for ten minutes beforehand and the fruit will stay cool longer on a warm day.
- Fresh mint is the secret ingredient here so never substitute dried mint because the flavor profile changes entirely.
