Instructions 👩‍🍳

Step-by-step:

Wash and prepare the fruit: Wash the grapes, berries, peaches and apple. Peel the kiwi and banana, remove peach stones and the apple core, and discard damaged fruit. Use the illustrated recipe for the exact quantities, timings and cooking settings.
Cut into serving pieces: Cut the firm fruit into manageable pieces and slice the banana. For young children, cut grapes lengthways into quarters rather than serving them whole.
Add the lemon: Coat the cut apple and banana with the lemon juice, then add the remaining fruit.
Mix and serve: Fold the fruit together without crushing the berries. Keep the fruit salad refrigerated until serving.

Juicy fruit salad with berries, peaches and lemon

Colorful fruit salad with strawberries, kiwi, melon, pineapple, orange and blueberries in a black bowl.

Juicy peaches, sweet berries and a squeeze of lemon: this fruit salad brings plenty of color to the table. Banana makes it mellow, kiwi adds a little tang, and every spoonful tastes different. Chill the bowl, grab some spoons and share.

A colorful mix of seven fruits

Dark grapes, kiwi, peaches, apple, banana, strawberries and raspberries all go into this salad. Lemon juice adds the final bright note. Ripe fruit brings enough sweetness on its own, so there is no sugar or syrup in the base recipe.

Cut gently and fold together

Wash all fruit under running water before peeling or cutting, then drain and dry gently. Use a clean board and knife. Remove grape stems and any seeds, peach pits, the apple core and strawberry tops. Peel the kiwi and banana, cut the larger fruit into spoon-sized pieces and halve the grapes for adults.

Squeeze the lemon and remove its seeds. Coat the apple and banana with the juice, add the other prepared fruit and fold in the raspberries last. Lift with a broad spoon from underneath instead of stirring hard. This keeps the soft fruit from turning into a mash. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

For young children, quarter grapes lengthwise and cut smaller as needed. Grate hard apple or cook it until soft and cool it. Quarter strawberries, mash raspberries if needed and adapt all fruit to the child's eating ability. Keep children seated upright and supervise them.

Keep the bowl fresh and colorful

Choose ripe but intact fruit. Very soft pieces break up quickly when mixed.
Drain well. Leftover washing water dilutes the fruit juice.
Taste a mixed spoonful. Sweet banana and tangy kiwi balance each other, so try them together.

A small seasonal change

Ripe nectarine can replace the peach; remove the pit and prepare it for whoever is eating. A little finely chopped mint is another optional addition. Start lightly so the fruit remains the main flavor.

For breakfast or dessert

Spoon the fruit into bowls with a little of its juice. Plain yogurt alongside is a simple breakfast addition. After spaghetti with creamy ham sauce, the cool fruit makes a fresh, juicy dessert.

Keep the salad at 40°F or below. Refrigerate promptly after serving, within two hours or one hour above 90°F, and discard portions left out longer. Lemon does not make cut fruit safe to store at room temperature.

Prepare in stages

Keep prepared firmer fruit covered and refrigerated, then add banana and delicate berries close to serving. For a picnic, use a lidded container in an insulated bag with an ice pack. Pack small portions so the remaining fruit stays chilled.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there juice at the bottom?
Cut fruit releases juice as it stands. Spoon it over the portions instead of repeatedly stirring the bowl.

Does lemon stop the apple from browning?
It can slow browning. Add it soon after cutting, while still keeping the salad refrigerated.

Can I make it without banana?
Yes, as a variation. The salad will have less mellow sweetness and a firmer mix of textures.
