Ingredients
  

Fruit base
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white peaches or nectarines finely diced
Honey-lime syrup
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
For serving
  • 1 Cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Method
 

Combine the fruit
  1. Dice fresh strawberries and white peaches or nectarines into small, uniform pieces, then add them to a medium bowl along with fresh blueberries.
  2. Add honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and fresh mint, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill to meld flavors
  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at 4°C/40°F for 30 minutes so the juices release and coat the fruit.
  2. Stir once more before serving, then transfer to a serving bowl and serve with cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers.

Notes

For best texture, dice all fruit to similar sizes so every bite has a balanced mix. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 2 days; it’s not recommended to freeze. To make it lighter, swap honey for a measured amount of maple syrup or a honey substitute, keeping the rest of the syrup ingredients the same.
