Instructions
Prepare the fruits
Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and quarter the strawberries, dice the pineapple and watermelon, slice the bananas, halve the grapes, and ensure the blueberries are clean and dry.
Pro tip: Use a sharp knife to maintain the fruit's shape and minimize bruising.
Mix the fruit
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, watermelon, bananas, and grapes.
Pro tip: Gently toss the fruits to avoid crushing the softer ones like bananas and blueberries.
Add flavouring
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit mixture. If using, add the honey for extra sweetness.
Pro tip: Lemon juice helps prevent the bananas from browning.
Chill the salad
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld.
Garnish and serve
Before serving, sprinkle chopped mint leaves over the salad for added freshness.
Pro tip: Serve in individual bowls or on a platter for a beautiful presentation.
