Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup dates, sliced
2 large oranges, peeled (reserve the juice)
1 cup chopped pineapple (reserve the juice)
2 kiwi fruits, cut into rounds
1/3 cup chopped almonds
fresh orange juice, reserved from the fruit
fresh pineapple juice, reserved from the fruit
mint sprig (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Arrange fruit in bowl. Pour the fruit juice over it. Sprinkle with almonds and garnish with fresh mint, if using.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe fruits: The sweetness and flavor of the fruit salad are enhanced when ripe fruits are used. Aim for fruits that are vibrantly colored and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Variety is key: Incorporate a diverse range of fruits to create a visually appealing and flavor-packed salad. Consider using a mix of tropical fruits, berries, citrus fruits, and stone fruits.
  • Prepare fruits properly: Before adding fruits to the salad, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities. Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces or slices for easy eating.
  • Add optional ingredients: Feel free to customize your fruit salad by adding additional ingredients that complement the flavors. Nuts, seeds, and herbs can provide texture and depth of flavor. A drizzle of honey or agave syrup can add a touch of sweetness.
  • Chill before serving: For a refreshing and chilled fruit salad, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.
