Ingredients
  

  • 250 g fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 200 g fresh blueberries washed and dried
  • 1 large cantaloupe melon deseeded and cubed
  • 2 ripe kiwis peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 2 large oranges peeled and segmented
  • 1 small bunch of green seedless grapes
  • 2 tablespoons of clear honey or maple syrup
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes
  • A few sprigs of fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur for adults only

Instructions
 

Prepare the Melons

  • Cut the cantaloupe melon in half and remove all the seeds with a large spoon. Scoop out the flesh and cut it into bite-sized, even cubes.

Slice the Berries

  • Wash the strawberries and remove the green tops carefully. Slice the larger berries into halves or quarters so they are easy to eat with a spoon.

Prepare the Kiwis

  • Peel the skin off the kiwis using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler. Slice them into pretty green rounds to add color to your fruit salad bowl.

Segment the Oranges

  • Remove the skin and white pith from the oranges completely. Carefully cut out the segments from between the membranes for a very professional and clean look.

Wash the Grapes

  • Rinse the green grapes under cold water and remove them from the stems. If the grapes are very large, you can slice them in half for easier eating.

Make the Dressing

  • In a small jar, whisk together the fresh lime juice and the clear honey. Shake it well until the honey dissolves and the dressing looks smooth and clear.

Combine the Fruit

  • Place all the prepared fruit into your large glass serving bowl. Be careful not to bruise the softer fruits like strawberries while you are moving them.

Add the Dressing

  • Pour the lime and honey mixture over the colorful fruit. The citrus juice will help keep the fruit looking fresh and prevent them from turning brown.

Toss Very Gently

  • Use a large spoon to gently turn the fruit over in the sweet dressing. Make sure every piece of fruit is lightly coated in the lime and honey.

Garnish with Mint

  • Tear the fresh mint leaves into small pieces and sprinkle them over the top. The mint adds a wonderful aroma and a burst of green to the dish.

Notes

  • Use whatever fruits are in season, like peaches in summer or pears in autumn.
  • Add a handful of pomegranate seeds for a crunchy and tart popping sensation.
  • If you like it creamy, serve the salad with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • Replace the lime juice with lemon juice if you prefer a sharper citrus taste.
  • For a tropical twist, add some fresh pineapple or ripe mango cubes to the mix.
  • Let the salad sit for 30 minutes so the fruit juices mix with the honey.
