Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 cups of blueberries
2 bananas, sliced
1 cup of pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup (optional)
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries, cut bananas into thin rounds, and ensure the pineapple is either freshly chopped or drained if using canned.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and pineapple. Be careful not to smash the berries; you want them to hold their shape for a beautiful presentation.
Drizzle honey or agave syrup over the mixed fruits. Squeeze the fresh lime juice, ensuring you catch any seeds that may drop in. Toss the fruits gently to evenly distribute the sweetness and acidity.
Chop a few mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for an invigorating flavor. Give one last gentle toss, ensuring the mint is evenly spread throughout the salad.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
