A vibrant and refreshing spring fruit salad featuring strawberries, honeydew melon, grapes, kiwi, blueberries, fresh mint, and a lime-honey dressing. Perfect for quick, healthy, and crowd-pleasing meals or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 cups honeydew melon, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved (seedless preferred)
  • 2 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fruits under cool running water. Hull and quarter the strawberries (about 2 cups or 300g). Peel and cube the honeydew melon into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups or 300g). Halve the green grapes (1 cup or 150g), peel and slice the kiwi (2 medium), and gently rinse the blueberries (1 cup or 150g).
  2. Wash fresh mint leaves and pat dry. Chop finely enough to release aroma but avoid bruising (about 1/4 cup).
  3. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30ml) of fresh lime juice with 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup. Whisk lightly until blended.
  4. Place all prepped fruit into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the fruit. Gently fold the mixture using a large spoon or silicone spatula, being careful not to crush the berries. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of chia seeds here if using, stirring lightly.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the salad and give it one last gentle toss.
  6. Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use frozen berries if fresh are not in season; thaw before use. For a sugar-free version, omit honey or maple syrup. Add fruit last if overly ripe to avoid mushiness. Chill salad for at least 15 minutes but no longer than 30 minutes to prevent sogginess. Gently toss to avoid bruising fruit. Mint should be added last to maintain freshness.
