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

  1. Gather all the ingredients. Make sure all fruits are washed and properly prepared.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and peach slices. Toss gently to mix the fruits.
  3. 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.
  4. Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing evenly over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit to ensure all pieces are coated with the dressing.
  5. Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped mint leaves over the salad. Give the salad one last gentle toss to distribute the mint.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
