Equipment

• Small saucepan
• Mixing spoon
• Large bowl

Ingredients

  

For the Salad:

• 2 cups Fresh strawberries thinly sliced
• 1 cup Fresh Cherries pitted and halved
• 1 cup Blackberries
• ½ cup Raspberries
• ¼ cup Pomegranate seeds if you want
• ⅓ cup Roughly chopped Walnuts raw or toasted
• 2 tbsp Fresh Mint leaves Roughly chopped

For the Dressing:

• 3 Large Limes juiced (about 6 tbsp)
• 3 tbsp Honey
• ½ tsp Rosewater or orange blossom water if you have it

Instructions

 

• Heat up the lime juice and honey in a small pot until the honey melts. If you’re using it, add the rosewater. Let it cool down.
• Toss together all the fruits in a big bowl. Pour the dressing over them and give it a gentle mix.
• Add the walnuts and mint, and toss everything together lightly. Then, put it on a plate or in bowls, and you’re ready to enjoy it!

Notes

• You can prepare the fruit (except bananas) and the dressing a day ahead. Keep them separate in the fridge. Mix them just before serving.
• Take out the bananas and store the salad in a sealed container. It’ll stay good in the fridge for 3-5 days.
• Choose ripe and sweet fruit, especially pineapples and oranges. If they’re not sweet enough, add a bit more honey to the dressing to make it just right.

Can You Prepare Fruit Salad in Advance?

Just mix all the fruits in a big bowl and chill it in the fridge for up to a day. For the dressing, make it a few hours earlier, cover it, and leave it at room temperature. When it’s time to serve, give the dressing a good stir, add any herbs you like, and toss it all together with the salad.
