Ingredients

2 cups Blueberries (Rinse and pat completely dry)
2 cups Strawberries (Hulled and finely chopped)
2 cups Cantaloupe (Peeled, seeded, and finely chopped)
2 cups Mango (Peeled, pitted, and finely chopped)
1 cup Mandarin Oranges (Peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup Kiwi (Peeled and finely chopped)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (Adjust to taste to balance sweetness)

Instructions

1
Step 1
Wash and Dry: Thoroughly wash the blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, mango, mandarin oranges, kiwi, and pineapple. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel to keep the salad from getting soggy.
2
Step 2
Prep the Fruit: Hull the strawberries. Peel the cantaloupe, mango, mandarin oranges, kiwi, and pineapple. Remove any seeds from the cantaloupe and the tough core from the pineapple.
3
Step 3
Chop to Size: Finely chop all of the larger fruits into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Aim to match the size of the blueberries so you get a mix of every color on a single spoon.
4
Step 4
Mix the Medley: Transfer the chopped strawberries, cantaloupe, mango, oranges, kiwi, and pineapple into a large mixing bowl, then gently fold in the whole blueberries.
5
Step 5
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the fruit, then evenly sprinkle the minced fresh mint and kosher salt across the top.
6
Step 6
Toss and Serve: Gently toss the mixture with a large spoon until the fruit is evenly distributed and coated in the dressing. Serve immediately or chill for up to two hours before serving.
