fruit bowl recipe Rainbow Fruit Bowl With Mint Shards
- Total Time: 29 minutes
- Yield: 6–8 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This Rainbow Fruit Bowl With Mint Shards is a vibrant and refreshing dish, perfect for a healthy snack, light dessert, or dinner side. It features an array of colorful fresh fruits and is enhanced with optional honey-lime dressing and aromatic mint shards.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
- 1 cup (160g) cantaloupe, cubed
- 1 cup (165g) pineapple, cubed
- 1 cup (150g) green grapes, halved
- 1 cup (180g) kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup (145g) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (145g) fresh blackberries
- 0.25 cup fresh mint, leaves only
- 2 tbsp honey (optional, or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (optional, or lemon juice)
Instructions
- Wash and Prep Fruits: Gently rinse all fruits under cool running water. Hull strawberries, cube the melon and pineapple into even 1-inch pieces, halve the green grapes, and carefully peel then slice the kiwi. Place all prepped fruits into a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare Mint Shards: Stack the fresh mint leaves neatly, roll them tightly into a cigar shape, and thinly slice (chiffonade) across the roll to create delicate ‘shards’.
- Mix: If using the dressing, whisk the 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice together in a small bowl until fully combined. Gently drizzle this over the fruit. Add the mint shards and toss everything very carefully with a rubber spatula until just combined, taking care not to bruise softer fruits like raspberries. If it looks dry, add an extra teaspoon of lime juice.
- Chill and Serve: Chill your Rainbow Fruit Bowl in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and crispness.
Notes
For best flavor and nutrient density, opt for organic berries, local melon, and vibrant, fresh citrus in season. To prevent sogginess, avoid overmixing and add mint and dressing just before serving. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice or a tiny pinch of salt can enhance flavors.
