Description
Nature's Skittles is the latest viral fruit trend to take over social media, following in the footsteps of Nature's Cereal and Nature's Gatorade. Think of it as a micro-chopped fruit salad that captures all the sweet, tart and rainbow-bright vibes of a pack of Skittles but made entirely from fresh fruit without any artificial dyes or refined sugar!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2-3 champagne mangos, peeled, diced
- 6 kiwis, peeled, ends removed, diced
- 1/4 cantaloupe, diced
- 1 pint blueberries, whole
- 2 cups purple grapes (small, halved horizontally)
- Optional sauce: 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 lime (zested and juiced), 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Chop the fruit. For best results, slice the strawberries, cantaloupe, mango and kiwi into vertical slices before putting them through a veggie chopper. If you don't have a chopper, hand chop into small even pieces. Leave the blueberries whole and halve the grapes horizontally to preserve their color and texture.
- Combine. Just before serving, toss all the fruit together in a large bowl to create a rainbow mix.
- Add optional sauce. Drizzle maple syrup over the fruit, then add a splash of lime juice and a pinch of lime zest. Finish with a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately. Best enjoyed cold with a spoon. Serve as is or alongside coconut whipped cream.

If you hand chop the fruit, they don't have to be super tiny but that is part of the appeal of the recipe!
