Fresh Fruit Citrus Salad

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

02 - 1 cup pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces

03 - 1 cup seedless grapes, halved

04 - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

05 - 1 cup blueberries

06 - 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

07 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

08 - 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

01 - Hull, slice, peel, and cut the fruits as indicated, then combine them in a large mixing bowl.

02 - Whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup in a small bowl until blended.

03 - Pour the citrus syrup evenly over the prepared fruits.

04 - Gently toss the fruits and syrup to ensure even coating without bruising the fruit.

05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to enhance flavors.

01 -

It comes together in minutes but tastes like you've been planning something special.
The citrus syrup wakes up each fruit without drowning it, letting everything taste exactly like itself but somehow better.
You can make it with whatever's ripe and beautiful at the market, so it never feels repetitive.

02 -

Blueberries release their color the moment they get wet, so add them last or keep them separate until serving if you want to avoid a purple-tinged situation.
The syrup is subtle by design—it's about enhancement, not transformation, so resist the urge to add more honey than feels natural.

03 -

Chill your bowl before adding the fruit—this small step keeps everything fresher longer and makes the first bite feel crisp.
Always taste your citrus syrup before you pour it; adjust the sweetness to your preference because every orange and lemon is slightly different, and your palate is the only rule that matters.
