Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped or torn

Equipment

  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing and preparing all your fruits. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters for easy mixing. If using fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Place all the chopped pineapple, strawberries, and blueberries into a large mixing bowl. Gently fold to combine, ensuring the vibrant colors are evenly mixed.
  3. Add the chopped mint leaves to the fruit mixture, giving a fresh aroma and brightening the salad’s flavor profile.
  4. Toss everything together lightly, allowing the mint to distribute evenly and the fruits to stay intact with their natural juices.
  5. Let the fruit salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mint to infuse the juices.
  6. Scoop the fruit salad into individual bowls or serve directly from the mixing bowl for a fresh, juicy presentation.

Notes

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor or refrigerate for up to a day. Add a drizzle of honey or a squeeze of lime for extra brightness if desired.
