Scale
Fruits
- 16 oz strawberries (cleaned and halved)
- 1 pint blueberries (rinsed)
- 3 bananas (sliced into thick chunks)
Glaze
- 1/8 cup honey
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Halve the strawberries and slice the bananas into thick chunks. Rinse the blueberries to ensure they are clean.
- Combine the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices to avoid bruising the fruit.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Dress the fruit salad: Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the mixed fruits and stir gently to coat all pieces evenly without mashing the fruit.
- Serve: Serve the fruit salad immediately for best freshness, or refrigerate for later enjoyment to keep it cool and fresh.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from turning mushy quickly.
- For a sweeter salad, adjust the amount of honey to taste.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Be gentle when mixing to maintain the integrity of the fruit pieces.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.
