Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Honey (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon juice (3 tablespoons)
- Fresh mint leaves (10, finely chopped)
- Peaches (2, pitted and sliced)
- Kiwi (2, peeled and sliced)
- Blueberries (1 cup)
- Strawberries (1 cup, hulled and halved)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Make sure all fruits are washed and properly prepared.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and peach slices. Toss gently to mix the fruits.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until the honey is completely dissolved. This creates your homemade honey-lemon dressing.
- Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing evenly over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit to ensure all pieces are coated with the dressing.
- Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped mint leaves over the salad. Give the salad one last gentle toss to distribute the mint.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
