Best Summer Fruit Salad Recipe
Impress your guests with the best summer fruit salad recipe that's easy, healthy, colorful, and packed with juicy fruit. Fresh fruit is one of the best things to enjoy, especially on hot summer days! For a unique twist, I served the fruit in glasses, offering guests the option to add dressing or extra toppings.
Servings :6 people
Ingredients
- 3 cups seedless green grapes
- 2 blood oranges or regular oranges
- 200 grams blueberries 7 ounces
- 400 grams strawberries sliced into quarters or bite sized pieces
- 200 grams pomegranate arils just under a cup
- 3 kiwi peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
- fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup cherries to garnish
Instructions
- Fruit Prep: Wash and peel (if needed) all the fruits. Then, chop or slice them into bite-sized pieces. Segment one of the oranges and juice the others.
- Layer the Fruit: Don’t overthink it! Simply add a little bit of fruit as you slice it into the glasses, alternating colors and fruit types. Pour a small amount of squeezed juice into the bottom of each glass—just enough to add color and a touch of flavor.
- Garnish: Optionally, add a few mint leaves for freshness and extra color. You can also top each glass with a cherry or two.
- Serve: Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.
Fruit Salad Dressing
- I used an orange, mint and ginger dressing which you can find in this recipe. OR you can also make a simple dressing like a little sugar with lemon or lime juice.
Notes
Fresh juice: The blood oranges gave a pretty pinkish color juice to the bottom of the glass which means it needs less or no dressing except a little sugar, honey or maple syrup. You can use any other juice for this - pomegraate, cranberry, pineapple and so forth.
Pomegranate substitute: raspberries, cherries, dried cranberries and red currants.
Raspberries: If using, I would suggest as a topping not mixed because they're quite delicate.
Cherries: If you pit them and add them they can stain the overall color so I used them as a topping.
