Fruit Salad

This refreshing and simple Fruit Salad recipe is made with fresh and vibrant fruits and hints of orange and mint.

Ingredients US CustomaryMetric 1x2x3x

  • ▢1 pint fresh raspberries , washed
  • ▢1 pint fresh strawberries , washed, hulled and quartered
  • ▢1 pint fresh blueberries , washed
  • ▢2 cups grapes (red or green), halved
  • ▢2 cups fresh pineapples , cut into small chunks
  • ▢fresh mint leaves , optional
  • ▢1 orange (for juice and zest–I don’t use the whole thing, just to taste)

Instructions 

  • Combine all of the fruit in a large bowl–I add the raspberries at the very end so they don’t get smashed.
  • Add some chopped fresh mint leaves, to taste, if desired. 
  • Zest some of the orange over the bowl and squeeze a little fresh orange juice over the top (don’t add to much because you don’t want a lot of extra liquid). Serve immediately. 

Notes

Variations: This fruit salad is easy to customize! Swap out any of the fresh fruits for your favorites or the ones that are in season to enjoy all year! If using apples, pears, or bananas, toss them in lemon juice and add them to the salad just before serving.

Make Ahead Instructions: This homemade fruit salad can be made a few hours in advance and stored in a sealed container in the fridge. Don’t add the orange juice until you’re ready to serve.

Freezing Instructions: Since freezing fruit alters the texture when it thaws, we do not recommend freezing and thawing fruit salad. You can freeze this fruit and use it in a smoothie for another day!
