How I love summer fruit, it’s so colorful and tasty, and when combined in a beautiful fruit salad, it’s also a scenic dish to bring to the table. Let’s face it, good quality fruit is delicious on its own, without the need for many additions, but there are some ingredients that make it even more succulent and aromatic. For example, I like to dress peaches, blackberries, and raspberries with a mix of lemon juice, honey, and fresh mint… if you could smell the aroma.
A genuine and tasty end of meal or snack for everyone!

Cut 15 mint leaves into strips and place them in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and honey, and mix until the honey dissolves. Set aside.
