This salad couldn’t be easier to make. Grab a few pints of berries, a small watermelon and some apples or pineapple. Rinse the berries, chop the watermelon and then slice up the apples or pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices. Using a star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many stars as you can. I used a few different sizes (although I couldn’t find my littlest ones) which I thought looked really nice. Unlike most fruit salads, I decided to dress this one with a blend of honey citrus juice. It helped the berries shine and the apples from turning brown (not so much an issue if you’re working with pineapple). It’s totally optional but I thought it added a subtle hint of zest and sweetness without being overpowering.
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 apples or ½ a pineapple cut into ½-inch thick slices, then cut into stars with cookie cutters
  • 1 small watermelon, cut into chunks
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 3 tbsp. honey
  • juice of 1 lime
  • juice of 1 orange
DIRECTIONS
  1. Rinse fruit if need, cut then toss the fruit together in a large bowl.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice and lime juice. Pour over the fruit, let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.
