Spring Fruit Salad
Serves: Serves a crowd
 
Ingredients
  • 1 watermelon
  • 1 pineapple
  • 2 pints blueberries
  • 2 quarts strawberries
  • Zest of two limes
  • ¼ cup gently torn mint leaves
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the berries. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on size.
  2. Cut the flesh from the watermelon into bite-size chunks.
  3. To prepare the pineapple, cut off the top and bottom. Cut the pineapple into four quarters and then halve each quarter. Cut off the point of each wedge of pineapple to remove the woody core. Cut off the outer rind of each wedge. Cut the remaining spears of pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
  4. Gently combine the fruits in a large bowl. Add the lime zest and mint leaves and toss.
  5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
When working with fresh mint, treat the leaves gently because they bruise easily. I tear mint with my fingers rather than cut it with a knife.
