This Salad with Fruits recipe is beautifully fresh and colourful – sweet fruit and berries, mixed greens, goat cheese and a simple lemon poppyseed dressing!
If you know me in real life you’ll know that I love a good salad. Or two. Like, every single day. Basically, if I could eat salad every day for the rest of my life you wouldn’t hear me complaining. Thankfully salads are perfect for variety because there are SO many ways to switch up your salad game from day to day.
This Salad with Fruits is one of my favourite summer salads to enjoy for lunch with some grilled chicken or salmon, or as a side with a summer dinner. If you like salads even a little bit, trust me – you’re going to LOVE this one!

How to Make a Salad with Fruits
Time needed: 20 minutes
- Make the dressing first.
Making the dressing yourself is a great way to customize the flavour, and making it a little bit ahead of time and letting it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes helps add flavour!
- Choose your best bowl.
- Wash and prep your fruit.
Gently wash and dry your produce before adding it to the salad. Wet fruit will make the greens soggy, and nobody likes a soggy salad!
- Go for the same size.
Slice your fruit so the pieces are a similar size. This is a great trick to help with flavour distribution.
- Dress right before serving.
For ultimate freshness, don’t add the dressing until right before serving.
