You will need:

  • cup of strawberries1 cup of strawberries
  • cup of oranges1 cup of oranges
  • cup of pineapples1 cup of pineapples
  • cup of green grapes1 cup of green grapes
  • cup of blueberries1 cup of blueberries
  • cup of blackberries1 cup of blackberries
  • tablespoon of honey1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions

  1. First, ensure all the fruits are washed thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
  2. Next, cut the strawberries, oranges, and pineapples into bite-sized pieces. This makes it easier for the little ones to eat and also helps the fruits to release their juices, making the salad more flavorful.
  3. Now, arrange the fruits in a large bowl in the order of the rainbow colors. Start with a layer of red strawberries at the bottom, followed by a layer of orange oranges, then yellow pineapples, green grapes, blue blueberries, and finally purple blackberries at the top.
  4. Drizzle a tablespoon of honey over the top of the fruit. The honey not only adds a touch of sweetness but also helps to bring out the flavors of the fruits.
  5. Serve the fruit salad immediately for the best taste, or you can refrigerate it for up to two hours before serving. The chilling time allows the flavors to meld together for an even more delicious salad.
