Aren’t the salads with fruits boring? Not anymore. I will be honest with you earlier I also believed that salads are way too dull for my liking. But not ever since I tried this summer fruit salad recipe at home. These days I am kind of obsessed with fruit salad. Already tried different permutation and the combination of fruits to make my kind of salad. And finally, thankfully I have zeroed down to a healthy and wholesome fruit salad recipe.
The key to making a perfect and tempting fruit salad is to use the best of fresh fruits available. The frozen, tinned or canned fruits are the biggest enemy of this salad. The fruits dipped in an artificial flavor and glazed with some kind of sweet syrup are not the right ingredients for this recipe. I think a good fruit salad deserves an effort to handpick the fresh fruits from the market. It brings so much joy in buying the favorite fruits and then turn them into a gorgeous bowl of salad.
The dressing for the fruit salad has to be simple. Because we want the natural sweetness and the tanginess of the fruits to shine out. Let’s not overshadow the naturally good taste of the fruits with a loaded dressing. That is the reason a simple lemon and honey syrup is the best dressing for this salad. And of course, the fresh mint leaves add just the right breath of freshness to the salad. Making it altogether more pretty and delightful.
What I like most about this fruit salad is – it can be enjoyed during any hour of the day. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or for an evening snack. And it is probably the best way to include tons of fruits in an everyday meal plan.
