Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 Pink Lady apple, sliced and cut into star shapes
- 1 lb strawberries, quartered
- 1 lb blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then quarter them carefully. Place the quartered strawberries into a large mixing bowl.
- Add blueberries: Wash the blueberries well and add them to the bowl containing the strawberries. Gently toss the berries together to combine without crushing them.
- Shape apples: Wash the Pink Lady apple and slice it. Using a small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut star shapes out of the apple slices.
- Combine fruits: Add the star-shaped apple pieces into the bowl with the strawberries and blueberries. Toss everything gently to mix the fruits uniformly while keeping their shapes intact.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the fruit salad until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and keeping the salad refreshing.
Notes
- Use a sharp, clean knife to slice the apples thin enough for easy star cutting.
- Chill the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal freshness.
- For added flavor, drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice to prevent apple browning.
- Substitute Pink Lady apples with Granny Smith apples for a tarter taste.
- Handle the fruit gently to avoid crushing the berries and maintain their texture.
