- 1 lb. strawberries hulled and quartered
- 2 1/2 cups pineapple
- 6 oz. blueberries
- 6 oz. blackberries
- 2-3 kiwis peeled and sliced
- 3 cuties peeled
- 1 1/2 cups red grapes cut in half
- 1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of one lemon
- Ice cream of choice strawberry, orange sorbet, rainbow sorbet, or vanilla
Wash and chop all the fruit. Add to a large mixing bowl along with the honey, apple juice concentrate, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Mix together and serve immediately or store in the fridge until serving.
Although you can eat this salad as is, it is even better served with sorbet or ice cream.
Blackberries: The blackberries will bleed a little on the other fruit. If you don’t like that look, remove the blackberries. In my opinion, it’s pretty and gives the salad a vintage look.
Sweetness: If you don’t like super sweet, use 1/4 cup of the apple juice concentrate instead of the 1/2 cup.
Prep Ahead: You can prep this salad the night before. Just have everything chopped and add the apple juice, lemon juice, honey, and lemon zest before serving.
Nutrition Facts: Includes 1 serving of fruit and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Nutrition will adjust based on various fruit and ice cream used.
