Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 ripe fresh peaches, washed and sliced into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and quartered

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Garnish and Texture

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Additional whole fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry the peaches, mango, and strawberries thoroughly. Slice the peaches and mango into bite-sized chunks and quarter the strawberries to create a variety of textures.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice (natural), honey (natural), and finely chopped basil leaves. This will create a balanced, sweet, and tangy dressing infused with fresh herb flavors.
  3. Combine and Toss: Place all the prepared fruit into a large bowl. Pour the lime and honey dressing over the fruit and gently toss to combine, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated without being crushed.
  4. Garnish and Add Texture: Sprinkle the chia seeds over the salad for added crunch and nutrition. Tear whole basil leaves and scatter them on top to enhance the fresh aroma and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches that yield slightly when pressed for the best sweetness and juiciness.
  • Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Gently toss the salad to keep fruit pieces intact and prevent sogginess.
  • Add fresh basil leaves just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and aroma.
  • Adjust the amount of honey according to the sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
