Ingredients

For the Fruit & Feta Cubes

• 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into cubes
• 1½ cups strawberries, hulled and halved
• 3 kiwis, peeled and cut into chunks
• 8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, cut into cubes
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

For the Hot Honey-Lime Drizzle

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp lime zest
• Pinch of sea salt

How to Make Pineapple, Strawberry, Kiwi & Feta Cubes

1. Prepare the Fruit

Cut the pineapple, strawberries and kiwi into similar-sized pieces. Gently pat the fruit with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

This helps the fruit stay firm and prevents too much liquid from collecting on the serving platter.

2. Prepare the Feta

Cut the feta into bite-sized cubes. Keep the pieces firm enough to hold their shape when arranged with the fruit.

3. Make the Hot Honey-Lime Drizzle

Add the honey, red pepper flakes, fresh lime juice, lime zest and a pinch of sea salt to a small saucepan.

Warm gently over low heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring until everything is combined. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Cubes

Arrange the pineapple, strawberry, kiwi and feta cubes on a serving platter, alternating the colours for a bright and attractive presentation.

5. Add the Hot Honey-Lime Drizzle

Drizzle the warm honey-lime mixture evenly over the fruit and feta.

6. Garnish

Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top. Add a little extra lime zest if desired.

7. Serve

Serve immediately while the fruit is chilled and the feta is creamy and salty. For the best texture, avoid letting the dressed fruit sit for too long before serving.

Tips for the Best Fruit & Feta Cubes

• Remove excess moisture: Gently pat the fruit dry before assembling to help keep the platter neat.
• Keep the pieces similar in size: This makes the platter easier to arrange and gives each bite a good balance of fruit and feta.
• Keep the feta firm: Cut the cheese into cubes that can hold their shape during assembly.
• Don’t overdress: Add the honey-lime drizzle just before serving for the freshest texture.
• Add the mint at the end: Fresh mint provides a bright finishing touch.

When to Serve Pineapple, Strawberry, Kiwi & Feta Cubes

These fruit and feta cubes are a simple choice for an appetiser platter, brunch spread or casual gathering. The colourful combination also makes a lovely addition to a summer-inspired table.

Because the fruit is dressed with honey and lime, it’s best served immediately after assembly while everything remains fresh and chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the fruit ahead of time?

Yes. The pineapple, strawberries and kiwi can be prepared ahead of time, but keep them chilled and separate from the honey-lime drizzle until you’re ready to assemble and serve.

Can I make the hot honey-lime drizzle ahead?

The drizzle can be prepared ahead of serving. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the fruit and feta.

Can I leave out the chilli flakes?

The chilli flakes provide the heat in the honey-lime drizzle. If you prefer a milder flavour, you can omit them.

Why should I serve these immediately?

The recipe recommends serving immediately because the fruit can release moisture after being dressed. Serving straight away helps preserve the fresh fruit texture and keeps the feta creamy and salty.
