Description

A refreshing and vibrant St. Patrick’s Day Green Fruit Salad featuring a mix of green grapes, kiwi, and green apples tossed with lime juice and mint leaves for a zesty, fresh flavor. Sweetened optionally with honey, this quick and easy salad is perfect for a healthy snack or festive side dish.


Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 cup green grapes, washed and halved
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 green apples, cored and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)


Instructions

  1. Wash the fruits: Rinse the green grapes, kiwis, and green apples thoroughly under cold water to ensure cleanliness and freshness.
  2. Prepare the fruits: Slice the kiwis and green apples into bite-sized pieces, and cut the green grapes in half for easier eating and better presentation.
  3. Add lime juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chopped fruits to prevent the apples from browning and to add a zesty tang that enhances the overall flavor.
  4. Toss with mint: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the prepared fruits with fresh mint leaves to evenly distribute the refreshing herb throughout the salad.
  5. Optional honey drizzle: Drizzle honey over the salad and give it one last gentle toss to add natural sweetness before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm green apples to avoid mushiness in the salad.
  • Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the apples from oxidizing and turning brown.
  • Mint leaves can be adjusted or omitted according to preference.
  • Honey is optional and can be substituted with agave syrup or omitted for a less sweet salad.
  • Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
