🥝 How To Make Jamie Oliver Fruit Salad

In a small bowl, mix the honey, orange juice, and lemon zest until well combined. This is your fruit salad dressing.
Prepare the fruits: Wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gently. Peel and slice the kiwis. Peel and chop the orange into half-wedges, and do the same for the apples and mango. Rinse the grapes.
In a large serving bowl, place all the prepared fruits: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, orange pieces, apple chunks, mango pieces, and grapes.
Drizzle the dressing over the fruits in the bowl. Gently toss everything together so the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the flavors to blend nicely.
After chilling, stir the salad once more and serve. Enjoy this refreshing and colorful treat as a dessert or a side dish.

💭 Recipe Tips:

Choose Fresh Fruits: Pick fresh and ripe fruits for a sweeter, better-tasting salad.
Wash Gently: Clean berries and grapes carefully with cold water to keep them firm and nice in the salad.
Cool It Down: Keep the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you eat it. This makes it taste better and feel more refreshing.
Check for Sweetness: Try the salad before you add the dressing. Use less honey if the fruits are already sweet.
