Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1.5 cups pineapple chunks
• 1 cup grapes (seedless)
• 1 medium apple (chopped)
• 1 medium banana (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 1 quarter cup almonds (sliced and toasted)
• 1 quarter cup pecans (chopped and toasted)
• 2 tablespoons mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all fruits. Hull and slice the strawberries, rinse the blueberries, cut the pineapple into chunks, halve the grapes if desired, dice the apple, and slice the banana.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, grapes, and chopped apple. Add the banana slices last to prevent bruising.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, and honey to create the dressing.

Step 4

Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the mixed fruits. Gently toss the fruits to ensure they're evenly coated without breaking the delicate pieces.

Step 5

In a dry skillet, toast the sliced almonds and chopped pecans on medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the toasted almonds and pecans over the fruit mixture. Lightly toss again to distribute the nuts throughout the salad.

Step 7

Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Nutty Flavored Fruit Salad!
