Fruit salad recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup grapes, halved
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 apple, cored and chopped
• 1 orange, peeled and sectioned
• Juice of 1 lime or lemon (to prevent the fruit from browning and to add a bit of zing)
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish) or rosemary

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruits:

   • Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water.
   • Hull and halve the strawberries.
   • Halve the grapes.
   • Slice the banana.
   • Core and chop the apple.
   • Peel and section the orange.

2. Mix the Fruits:

   • In a large bowl, gently mix all the prepared fruits together.

3. Add Citrus Juice:

   • Squeeze the juice of one lime or lemon over the mixed fruits. This not only adds a refreshing zing but also helps prevent the fruits, especially the banana and apple, from browning.

4. Garnish (Optional):

   • If you're using fresh mint leaves for garnish, sprinkle them on top of the salad for a pop of color and a fresh aroma.

5. Serve:

   • Enjoy the fruit salad as is, or chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving for a refreshing treat.
