Ingredients

• 2 cups (hulled and quartered) Strawberries
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 1.5 cups (fresh, diced) Pineapple
• 1 cup (halved, seedless) Grapes
• 2 (sliced into coins) Bananas
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash all the fruits thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Hull and quarter the strawberries, slice the grapes in half, dice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, and slice the bananas into thin coins.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the orange juice and honey until the honey is fully dissolved to create a light fruit dressing.

Step 4

Combine all the prepared fruits—strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, grapes, and bananas—in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the orange juice and honey mixture over the fruits. Toss gently with a spatula to coat the fruits evenly without mashing them.

If using, sprinkle chopped mint leaves for a refreshing finish.
