Ingredients
- Assorted seasonal fruits (such as melons, berries, citrus segments, and grapes)
- Fresh mint leaves
- Fresh lime juice
- Honey or agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the fruits: Start by washing, peeling (if needed), and cutting the fruits into bite-sized pieces. Select a variety of fruits for a colorful and flavorful salad.
- Make the mint-infused syrup: In a small saucepan, combine a few tablespoons of water, fresh mint leaves, and a splash of lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for a few minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool.
- Assemble the fruit salad: In a large bowl, combine the prepared fruits. Drizzle the mint-infused syrup over the fruits, tossing gently to coat the fruits evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Once the fruits are well coated with the mint-infused syrup, cover the fruit salad and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, spoon the fruit salad into individual bowls or onto a platter, drizzle with the Strawberry balsamic, and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a beautiful and vibrant aromatic finish.
bon TIP: This fruit salad with a hint of mint and lime offers a delightful burst of freshness that pairs beautifully with the Mediterranean Chickpea Chopped Salad.
