1 Pink Lady apple, sliced and cut into star shapes
1 lb strawberries, quartered
1 lb blueberries
Instructions
Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly, quarter them, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add Blueberries: Wash the blueberries, then add them to the bowl with the strawberries. Gently toss to combine the fruits.
Cut Apple Stars: Wash the Pink Lady apple and slice it. Using a small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out star shapes from the apple slices.

Chill and Serve: Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator until ready to serve to keep it fresh and cool.
Notes
Use a sharp, small star-shaped cookie cutter for best apple star shapes.
To prevent apple stars from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding to the salad.
Gently toss the fruit to avoid bruising delicate berries.
This salad is best served chilled and consumed within a few hours for freshness.
Feel free to substitute other berries or fruits based on seasonal availability.
