Ingredients
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 2 cups mini orange slices (e.g., cuties)
- 2 cups diced pineapple
- 2 cups peeled and diced kiwi
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups red grapes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, sprinkles, apple juice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice and maple syrup to create the dressing.

- Gently toss everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15–30 minutes before serving, or enjoy immediately.

Notes
- Swap fruits based on season: try watermelon in summer or pomegranate seeds in winter.
- Add mango and banana just before serving for a tropical twist.
