Welcome to a burst of tropical sunshine with our Tropical Berry Medley! This refreshing and vibrant fruit salad brings together the best of berries and tropical fruits, making it a perfect treat for any time of the year.
The heart of this recipe is its fruity goodness. Let's break it down:
Strawberries provide a juicy sweetness and a pop of red color. Blueberries add a touch of tartness and are packed with antioxidants. Raspberries bring a delicate texture and slightly tangy taste. Blackberries offer a deep, rich flavor. Mango adds that unmistakable tropical sweetness, while pineapple gives a juicy, tangy contrast. Shredded coconut lends a subtle nuttiness and crunch. The honey and lime juice dressing ties everything together with a sweet and zesty finish, and the mint introduces a refreshing aroma.
This fruit medley is a wonderful standalone dish, but it also pairs beautifully with a dollop of vanilla yogurt or a scoop of coconut ice cream for a more indulgent dessert. Serve it at brunch alongside freshly baked scones or as a side dish at a summer barbecue.
Start by grabbing a large bowl. Toss in the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Give them a gentle mix to combine without crushing the berries. Add the diced mango and pineapple next, folding them in carefully. This is where your medley starts to look like a summer celebration in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until you have a smooth, glossy dressing. Drizzle this over your fruit mixture, using a spatula to give everything a gentle toss. You want the fruits to be lightly coated without becoming mushy.
Finally, sprinkle the shredded coconut and mint leaves over the top. You can serve your Tropical Berry Medley right away, or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
