Description
This fresh and vibrant summer peach fruit salad is packed with juicy peaches, bright berries, and a light citrus dressing that brings everything together. It’s quick to make, naturally sweet, and perfect for brunch, picnics, or any warm-weather gathering.
Ingredients
Peaches – Ripe yet slightly firm so they hold their shape
Strawberries – Sweet and vibrant; slice just before mixing
Blueberries – Add juicy pops of flavor and color
Raspberries (optional) – Delicate tartness; fold in gently
Fresh mint – Tear, don’t chop, for the best aroma
Fresh lime juice – Brightens the fruit and prevents browning
Honey or maple syrup – A light drizzle to enhance natural sweetness
Pinch of sea salt – Makes the fruit taste even sweeter
Instructions
Prep the peaches: Slice into even wedges so they stay tender but intact.
Slice the strawberries: Quarter or halve them so the pieces match the peaches in size.
Add blueberries and raspberries: Pour in the blueberries, then gently fold in the raspberries last.
Mix the citrus dressing: Whisk together lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Combine: Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat without crushing the berries.
Add mint: Tear fresh mint leaves over the top right before serving.
Chill (optional): Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes for an extra-refreshing finish.
Notes
To make ahead, prep the firmer fruit and dressing separately, then combine right before serving.
Swap peaches for nectarines or add cherries, plums, or blackberries depending on the season.
Leftovers keep for 24 hours in the fridge but taste best the day they’re made.
