Print Recipe

Fruit salad has long been a staple in many cultures, from European compotes to tropical blends in the Caribbean. In America, it became especially popular in the 20th century as a versatile side dish for picnics and potlucks. The Pioneer Woman’s fruit salad highlights a rustic yet vibrant approach—using everyday fruits combined with a light homemade dressing that makes it shine.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries (2 cups, hulled and sliced)

  • Blueberries (1 cup)

  • Pineapple chunks (2 cups, fresh or canned)

  • Red grapes (1 cup, halved)

  • Kiwi (3, peeled and sliced)

  • Oranges (2, segmented)

  • Banana (1, sliced just before serving)

For the Dressing:

  • Honey (3 tbsp)

  • Orange juice (¼ cup, freshly squeezed)

  • Lemon juice (2 tbsp)

  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the fruits

Wash all fruits thoroughly. Slice strawberries, halve grapes, peel and slice kiwi, segment oranges, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2: Make the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, orange juice, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 3: Combine fruits

In a large bowl, add all prepared fruits except the banana. Pour dressing over the top and gently toss to coat.

Step 4: Add banana and garnish

Just before serving, fold in banana slices to prevent browning. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 5: Serve chilled

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let flavors meld together.
