Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer fruit salad featuring strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and a tangy honey lime dressing that balances sweetness and freshness perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded coconut or coconut flakes (optional)
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and grapes under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries and grapes. Slice the banana just before assembling to prevent browning.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and banana slices. Add mini marshmallows and shredded coconut if using.
  4. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit mixture.
  5. Use a spatula or large spoon to toss everything carefully, coating the fruit evenly without crushing the berries.
  6. Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

Add banana slices and marshmallows just before serving to maintain freshness and texture. If the salad looks watery, drain excess liquid and stir gently before serving. For vegan option, substitute honey with agave or maple syrup. Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. Chill salad to meld flavors and keep fruit crisp.
