Adjust quantities as needed. Feel free to swap or add fruits based on your preferences and what's in season.

  • 1 green apple
  • 1 red apple
  • 1 pear
  • 1 mango
  • 1 large grapefruit
  • 1 bunch of grapes
  • 3 bananas
  • 1 kiwi
  • 125 g blackberries
  • 150 g raspberries
  • 1 lemon to prevent oxidation
  • 750 ml fresh orange juice, more or less
  • 1 vanilla bean optional
  • Rosemary fresh thyme or cinnamon stick, pick one according to your taste (optional)
  • Sugar or honey not necessary, I don't use any

PREPARATION

  • Start by washing the fruit, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Squeeze the oranges and pour the juice into a pitcher or directly into a large bowl.
  • Split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds. Stir them into the orange juice along with the pod. You can also add a sprig of rosemary, fresh thyme, or a cinnamon stick to taste. Remove them before pouring the juice over the cut fruit.
  • Dice the apples, pear, and kiwi into small, even pieces. Remove any seeds and inedible parts. You can peel them completely, partially, or leave the skin on, depending on your preference.
  • Peel the mango and bananas, then cut them into cubes.
  • As you go, place the prepared fruit into a bowl or serving dish.
  • Lightly drizzle the fruits that tend to brown, such as apples and bananas, with a little lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
  • Peel the grapefruit, then carefully remove the supremes by cutting away the thin membrane around each segment. Add them to the rest of the fruit.
  • Add half of the grapes, blackberries, and raspberries.
  • Gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
  • Arrange the remaining blackberries, raspberries, and grapes on top. If the fruit is particularly juicy, you may not need to add any extra liquid. Add more or less orange juice, depending on your taste.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Let the fruit salad chill for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, until nicely chilled and the flavors have had time to blend.
  • Before serving, gently toss the fruit salad again, then garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprig of rosemary for a refreshing finish.
  • Serve in individual bowls or footed dessert cups.
  • Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite fruits or whatever is in season. Enjoy!
    • You have 3 serving options:
    1. Toss all the fruit together in a large bowl with as much juice as you like.
    2. Layer the fruit in a large serving bowl, then pour the juice over the top.
    3. Serve directly in individual glasses or dessert cups.
