With a mix of colorful fruits and a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves, it serves as a perfect, light dessert for a warm summer day or a delightful palate cleanser after a hearty meal.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Fresh mint leaves
a handful, finely chopped
Honey
2 tablespoons
Orange blossom water
1 tablespoon
Mixed fruits (like oranges, apples, berries, grapes, and pomegranate seeds)
4 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped mixed fruits.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the orange blossom water, honey, and lemon juice until well combined. This will serve as your fruit salad dressing.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the fruits, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  4. Gently toss the fruit salad to make sure all pieces are coated with the dressing.
  5. Top the salad with finely chopped fresh mint leaves for that extra kick of freshness.
  6. Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  7. Serve chilled. Enjoy as a standalone dessert or as a refreshing side dish!

Tips

  • 💡 You can use any combination of fruits you like or have on hand. Just remember to choose ripe but firm fruits to maintain a good texture.
  • 💡 The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days, but it's best consumed fresh.
  • 💡 For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
