Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 Pink Lady apple, sliced and cut into star shapes
  • 1 lb strawberries, quartered
  • 1 lb blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then quarter them and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Blueberries: Wash the blueberries well and add them to the bowl with the strawberries. Gently toss to mix the berries evenly.
  3. Cut Apple Stars: Wash the Pink Lady apple, slice it, and use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out star shapes from the apple slices.
  4. Combine Fruits: Add the star-shaped apple pieces to the bowl with the other fruits. Toss everything gently to mix well without crushing the delicate fruits.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the fruit salad until ready to serve to keep it fresh and cool.

Notes

  • Choose firm Pink Lady apples for easier cutting of star shapes and to prevent browning.
  • To prevent apple stars from browning, toss them lightly in lemon juice before mixing.
  • This fruit salad is best served chilled for optimal freshness and flavor.
  • Feel free to add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh mint for extra flavor.
