Tropical Fruit Salad for Summer
A refreshing, hydrating, and nutritious treat to enjoy on hot summer days is a fruit salad. For an instant hit of coolness, garnish with whipped cream, your preferred yogurt, or ice cream, and a few mint leaves!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 little watermelon without seeds
- One cantaloupe
- One pound of strawberries
- One pint of blueberries
- Six ounces of raspberries
- Six ounces of blackberries
- Six ounces of grapes
- One cup of orange juice
- fresh leaves of mint
Instructions
- Cut the cantaloupe and watermelon into little chunks. Depending on their size, cut the strawberries in quarters or halves. You are not required to chop the grapes and blackberries in half, although you are welcome to. Some I kept intact, and some I sliced in half. Blueberries and raspberries have to stay whole.
- Place all of the chopped fruit in a large basin.
- Pour in 1 cup (or less, if desired) of orange juice. You can choose not to include this element.
- Toss the fruit gently to combine. After adding a few mint leaves, serve.
Notes
Fruit salad can be kept chilled for up to three days in a glass container with an airtight lid.
