Print Recipe

A quick, colorful, and refreshing fruit salad featuring strawberries, blueberries, and white peaches tossed in a zesty honey lime dressing with a hint of mint.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 medium white peaches, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower honey preferred)
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Hull strawberries by removing green tops, then slice in halves or quarters depending on size. Blanch white peaches in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to loosen skin. Peel and chop peaches into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Make the Dressing (5 minutes): In a small bowl or jar, combine honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk or shake vigorously until honey dissolves and dressing is smooth. Stir in chopped mint if using.
  3. Toss the Salad (3 minutes): Place all prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl. Pour honey lime dressing over the fruit. Gently toss with a large spoon or hands to coat evenly without bruising the berries.
  4. Chill & Serve (Optional, 10 minutes): Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld and dressing become glossy on the fruit.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid watery salad. Blanch peaches to easily peel skin. Toss gently to prevent bruising berries. Dressing can be made a day ahead and stored in fridge. Salad best enjoyed within 24 hours. Mint is optional; basil or orange blossom water can be used as alternatives.
