🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, wash all your fruit thoroughly. This step is super important—nobody wants a sandy surprise in their delicious Paleo fruit salad! I usually just fill the sink with some cool water and let it soak for a few minutes before giving everything a good scrub.
- Next, chop up your fruit into bite-sized pieces. Mangoes, peaches, and nectarines work well. I like to get a mix of sizes and shapes for some added visual appeal and to make it easier for munching! Also, when I cut my fruits, I try to make even pieces so they cook evenly, it is an important step!
- Now, let's get those delicious goji berries in the mix! These little guys add a wonderful sweetness and a nice pop of color. I found a great organic brand at my local health food store. Just sprinkle them over your chopped fruit. Remember, you can't go wrong with goji berries.
- If you're using nuts, chop them up as well. I'm a fan of adding some almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and healthy fats. You want to chop them finely—it helps with consistency. To avoid any accidents, be careful not to cut yourself while you are chopping up the nuts and fruit.
- Gently toss everything together in your large bowl. You don't want to be too rough; we are making a salad not mashing potatoes. Make sure all the fruit and nuts are evenly distributed.
- And that's it! You've officially made a delicious and healthy Paleo Fruit Salad! Give it a taste test before serving – you're allowed! But honestly, I rarely need to adjust anything at this stage. Its usually perfect as is!
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of fresh flavors! If you are serving it to your friends, make sure to put it in a nice bowl to make it look even more attractive, so your friends will feel appreciated! Seriously, though, what's not to love about a beautiful and tasty fruit salad?
📝 Notes
- Adjust the quantity of fruits and nuts to your liking. Feel free to add other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
- If using frozen fruit, thaw completely before adding to the salad.
- For a sweeter salad, drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup (not strictly paleo).
