Summer Fruit Salad
Who says healthy can’t be delicious and exotic? I made the most of the last of the season’s tropical fruit by assembling a fresh fruit salad with a special tip from Jamie Oliver. The secret is to add fresh mint. I saw him do it on a show by bashing mint leaves up with sugar in a mortar and pestle, but I think that’s just a bit too much work first thing in the morning and way too much physical activity!
Ingredients: Any tropical fruit you have left in your fridge. I used:
-
5 lychees, cut in half, peeled and seed removed
-
1 peach, peeled and sliced
-
1 plum, peeled and sliced (only because I don’t like the tart skin)
-
2 slices rockmelon, diced approximately same size as the stonefruit
-
Some raspberries – fresh or frozen
-
3 – 4 mint leaves
Method
Mix fruit together gently; and stir through the torn mint leaves. Enjoy with a fresh smoothie and make sure you reward yourself for being good too
