Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, halved
- 1 cup orange segments
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the fruits. Rinse the strawberries under cold water, then remove the green tops and slice them in half. Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. If using a whole pineapple, peel and core it, then cut it into bite-sized chunks. Rinse the green grapes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Lastly, rinse the blueberries and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared strawberries, orange segments, pineapple chunks, green grapes, and blueberries. Gently toss the fruits together to mix them evenly without bruising them.
- Next, prepare the lemon dip. In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of plain yogurt. Then, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Use a whisk or a fork to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once the fruits are mixed and the lemon dip is ready, transfer the fruit mixture to a large serving platter or individual bowls. You can arrange the fruits in a rainbow pattern for a visually appealing presentation.
- Serve the fruit rainbow immediately, accompanied by the lemon dip on the side. Enjoy this refreshing and healthy treat as a snack, dessert, or part of a brunch spread!
Tips
- Fruit Selection: Choose the freshest, ripest fruits for maximum flavor and visual appeal. Look for vibrant colors and firm textures.
- Cutting Technique: Use a sharp knife and cut fruits into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even presentation and easy eating.
- Dip Consistency: Whisk the yogurt, honey, and lemon juice thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy dip without lumps.
- Presentation Hack: Arrange fruits in a precise rainbow order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue) for a stunning visual effect.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill the fruits and dip for 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing, cool treat.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare fruits and dip separately and combine just before serving to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
