A refreshing and indulgent fruit salad combined with creamy ice cream, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
2 cups pineapple, diced (fresh or canned)
2 cups kiwi, peeled and diced
2 cups watermelon, cubed
1 banana, sliced
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (for garnish)
4 cups vanilla ice cream (or any flavor you prefer)
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit: Start by washing all your fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, dice the pineapple and kiwi, and cube the watermelon. Slice the banana last to prevent browning.
Mix the Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, watermelon, and banana. Gently toss them together to mix but avoid mashing the fruits. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if needed, and toss again.
Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Serve with Ice Cream: Scoop portions of the chilled fruit salad into bowls and top with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh mint over the top for a pop of color and a refreshing hint of flavor. Serve immediately.
