Fresh seasonal fruits tossed in zesty citrus syrup for a light, naturally sweet treat.

# What You Need:

→ Fresh Fruits

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

→ Citrus Syrup

06 - 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
08 - 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Hull and slice strawberries, cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces, halve the grapes, peel and slice kiwi, and rinse blueberries. Place all prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup until fully combined.
03 - Pour the citrus syrup over the prepared fruits. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly with the syrup.
04 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled presentation.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required so you can throw it together even when your kitchen feels like it is 90 degrees
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every fruit flavor without overpowering the natural sweetness
02 -
  • Add the citrus syrup right before serving because the acid will start breaking down delicate fruits like kiwi if they sit too long
  • Wait to slice bananas or apples until the last minute because they brown and soften faster than the sturdier fruits
03 -
  • Let chopped fruit sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before adding the citrus syrup so flavors concentrate
  • If the fruit releases too much liquid, gently drain some before serving so it does not become soupy
