Lemon Mint Fruit Salad has that effortless kind of brilliance — a bowl of colour, fragrance, and freshness that feels like sunshine in edible form. Juicy seasonal fruit provides natural sweetness, while a squeeze of lemon brightens everything with a clean, zesty lift. Fresh mint threads through the mix, adding a cool, aromatic note that makes each bite feel crisp and revitalising. It’s the sort of dish that proves simplicity can be deeply satisfying, especially when the ingredients are allowed to shine.

Health Benefits

• Naturally nutrient‑dense
  Fresh fruit delivers a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support overall well-being. The variety of colours often reflects different antioxidant compounds.
• Hydration support
  Many fruits — especially melon, citrus, and berries — have a high water content, helping maintain hydration in a delicious, accessible way.
• Vitamin C boost
  Lemon juice and many fruits in the salad contribute vitamin C, which plays a role in immune function and collagen formation.
• Digestive comfort
  The fibre in whole fruit supports healthy digestion, while the light acidity of lemon can make the salad feel especially refreshing after meals.
• Naturally low in added sugar
  When made with ripe fruit and no added sweeteners, it’s a dessert‑like option that aligns well with whole‑food eating patterns.
• Cooling and calming
  Mint adds a soothing aromatic quality that many people find uplifting and refreshing, especially in warm weather.
