METHOD · 4 STEPS

prep
Wash and prep all the fruit.
1.Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and grapes under cold water and pat completely dry.
2.Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
3.Peel the kiwi, slice into rounds, then cut each round into half-moons.
4.Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into small bite-sized chunks.
5.Halve the grapes lengthwise.
TIPDry the fruit well after washing — extra water makes the fruit cup soggy.
mix
Make the honey-lemon dressing.
1.In a small bowl, combine honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
2.Whisk together until the honey fully dissolves into the lemon juice.
3.Stir in the finely chopped fresh mint.
TIPIf the honey is thick, warm the lemon juice slightly before mixing.
mix
Toss the fruit gently with the dressing.
1.Place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
2.Drizzle the honey-lemon-mint dressing over the top.
3.Gently fold everything together with a spatula until the fruit is evenly coated.
TIPUse a folding motion instead of stirring to keep the fruit pieces intact.
assemble
Portion into cups and serve.
Divide the mixed fruit evenly among four small serving cups or bowls. Serve immediately for the best texture, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Pat fruit completely dry after washing to prevent a watery fruit cup.
2
Cut all fruit into similar bite-sized pieces for even eating and presentation.
3
Use a folding motion with a spatula to keep delicate berries from breaking apart.
4
Add the dressing just before serving to keep strawberries and kiwi from releasing too much juice.
5
If making ahead, store the fruit and dressing separately and toss just before serving.

RECIPE VARIATIONS

Adapt it for your goals.

low sugar

Low-sugar

Omit the honey entirely or replace it with a dash of stevia or monk fruit sweetener. The fruit's natural sweetness is enough for a refreshing, low-sugar cup.

tropical

Tropical

Swap strawberries and blueberries for diced mango and papaya. The tropical fruits pair beautifully with the honey-lime-mint dressing (substitute lime for lemon).

berry heavy

Berry-heavy

Replace the pineapple and kiwi with an extra 100g of raspberries and blackberries. This variation is intensely berry-flavored and even quicker to prep.
