Ingredients
  

3 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup blueberries, rinsed

1 cup raspberries, rinsed

1 banana, sliced

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh mint, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles (for a savory twist)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and banana. Gently toss the fruit together to avoid bruising the delicate berries.

    Make the Dressing: In a small separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, chopped mint, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and well combined. The lemon juice will add a nice tang while preventing the fruit from browning.

      Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the mixed fruit and gently toss again to ensure all the fruit is coated evenly with the dressing.

        Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste; feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a bit more honey or lemon juice according to your preference.

          Serve: Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual cups. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese crumbles on top for a delightful flavor contrast. Garnish with extra mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

            Chill: For optimal flavor, cover the fruit salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the fruits to marinate in the dressing and enhances the flavors.

              Enjoy: Serve the fruit salad as a light breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a colorful dessert at summer gatherings!
