Mango And Berry Fruit Salad

Summer’s sweetest flavors come together in perfect harmony in this refreshing Mango and Berry Fruit Salad.

Ripe mango, plump strawberries, juicy blueberries, and tart raspberries unite in a delightful mix of colors and textures, elevated by a hint of honey and lime juice.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by washing your hands and all the fresh fruits thoroughly.

Pat the fruits dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.

Next, in a large bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Toss gently to mix the fruits well.

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and salt until the honey dissolves completely.

Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat the fruits evenly.

Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Divide the fruit salad into six equal portions and serve chilled.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe, and sweet mango for the best flavor and texture.

Don’t over-toss the fruits as they can get mushy and lose their natural texture.

Adjust the amount of honey to your taste, especially if the mango is sweeter than usual.

For a fancier look, use edible flowers or microgreens instead of fresh mint leaves.

This fruit salad is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light snack, and it’s also a great side dish for summer barbecues and potlucks.

You can prepare the fruit salad up to a day in advance, but it’s best to add the honey-lime dressing just before serving to keep the fruits fresh.

Experiment with other fruits like pineapple, kiwi, or bananas to give the salad a tropical twist.
