🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
You don’t need to be exact with the quantities—just go by what’s ripe and delicious!
- 200g fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 150g fresh raspberries
- 1 ripe mango
- 2 ripe kiwis
- 1 banana
- 125g fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon runny honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- A few fresh mint leaves, to garnish
🍳 Method
- Prepare the strawberries – Remove the stems, quarter them, and place into a large serving bowl.
- Cut the mango – Slice the sides away from the stone, score into cubes, and scoop into the bowl. Let any juice drip in too—it adds flavour!
- Add the kiwi – Cut in half, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, dice, and add to the mix.
- Slice the banana and gently toss into the bowl along with the raspberries and blueberries.
- Make the dressing – In a small cup or jug, whisk together the lemon juice and runny honey.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently stir to coat everything evenly.
- Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately for the freshest flavour.
✨ Top tip: Only use ripe fruit. It’s better to leave something out than to include an unripe piece that might spoil the overall flavour.
