Strawberry Fruit Salad Ingredients
- Strawberries: Use large, firm, and bright red berries with vibrant green leaves for the best taste.
- Cantaloupe: The one with the orange flesh. Make sure the melon is firm, unbruised, with slight give.
- Mango: Choose a firm mango with slight give and a sweet smell at the stem.
- Dressing: You’ll need a fresh lime and honey. You can add the lime zest too if you like.
How to Make Strawberry Fruit Salad
- Prepare the fruit: Halve the strawberries, slice the melon, peel and slice the mango, then cut out the hearts.
- Make the dressing: Juice the lime, add honey, and mix well.
- Assemble the fruit salad: Arrange the fruit hearts on a platter, top with the dressing, and serve.
Possible Variations
- Cantaloupe and mango: Swap for watermelon, dragonfruit, kiwi, Honeydew, or Galia melon. Feel free to add raspberries, blueberries, cherries, or any other fruit you have available.
- Shapes: Use any cookie cutters you have, or simply cube the fruit in similar-sized chunks.
- Dressing: Add fresh orange juice, citrus zest, freshly chopped mint, balsamic glaze, sugar syrup, or poppy seeds.
