  • 1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Wash all the fruits thoroughly before slicing or chopping them to ensure they are clean and fresh.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, grapes, kiwi, and mandarin oranges.
  3. Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or your preferred plant-based yogurt.
  • Add a handful of chopped mint leaves for an extra fresh flavor.
  • Feel free to swap in seasonal fruits like mango, blueberries, or peaches depending on availability.
  • To boost crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds just before serving.

Storage

Store the fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The fruit may release some juices over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. Stir gently before serving. Avoid freezing as the texture of fresh fruit and yogurt will change.
