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.
Tips
- You can substitute or add any fruits you prefer or have on hand. This salad is also delicious with the addition of grapes, bananas, or melons.
- For a more decadent version, serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
