Ingredients

• 250 grams Penne pasta
• 1 cup Strawberries
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 1 cup Red grapes
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Mint leaves
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, rinse and prepare the fruits. Hull and slice the strawberries, halve the grapes, and make sure the pineapple chunks are bite-sized.

Step 3

Drain the cooked pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, make the dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the bowl containing the dressing and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Gently fold in the prepared strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, and grapes. Be careful not to crush the fruits.

Step 7

Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad for a fresh, aromatic finish.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light meal. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint for presentation.
