A refreshing and colorful fruit salad featuring strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and a zingy honey lime dressing, perfect for summer parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups (225 grams) blueberries
  • 1 ½ cups (225 grams) red grapes, halved
  • 1 ½ cups (225 grams) green grapes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and grapes under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size. Halve the grapes. Pat all the fruit dry gently with paper towels to avoid excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk or shake vigorously until the honey dissolves and the dressing is smooth and glossy.
  3. Place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey lime dressing evenly over the fruit. Add chopped fresh mint leaves if using. Gently toss everything together with a large spoon or salad tongs, making sure the dressing coats all the fruit without bruising it.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dressing to soak in slightly before serving.

Notes

Dry fruit thoroughly after washing to avoid watery salad. Toss gently to prevent bruising berries. Add dressing just before serving to keep fruit fresh. Can substitute grapes with cherries or frozen berries (thawed and drained). For vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
