- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- 1 orange, peeled and sectioned
- Juice of 1 lime or lemon (to prevent the fruit from browning and to add a bit of zing)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
-
Prepare the Fruits:
- Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water.
- Hull and halve the strawberries.
- Halve the grapes.
- Slice the banana.
- Core and chop the apple.
- Peel and section the orange.
-
Mix the Fruits:
- In a large bowl, gently mix all the prepared fruits together.
-
Add Citrus Juice:
- Squeeze the juice of one lime or lemon over the mixed fruits. This not only adds a refreshing zing but also helps prevent the fruits, especially the banana and apple, from browning.
-
Garnish (Optional):
- If you're using fresh mint leaves for garnish, sprinkle them on top of the salad for a pop of color and a fresh aroma.
-
Serve:
- Enjoy the fruit salad as is, or chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving for a refreshing treat.
