Amidst all the hustle and bustle of recipes, there are a few things that can be quite simple, just like a healthy fruit salad recipe. Yes, we meant a quick recipe that uses fresh seasonal fruits that highlight the natural and mild flavors evenly. If you are on a weight loss diet, this alternative healthy salad recipe can be great for brunch, lunch, or even a summer dessert.
And guess what? We all know that even when we are baking those fruit muffins or wholesome pancake toppings or even a morning bowl of oatmeal, nothing beats the fresh fruits‘ nutrient-rich content. Apart from all the staple taco salad recipes, have you ever thought of having a fruit dessert that finishes your meal? Sounds interesting, right?
Today, we are here with a quick addition that is refreshing and flavorful and delicious, and easy to prepare anytime for summer brunches, barbecue evenings, and potlucks. The only part that can be a bit challenging for you can be the selection of fruits. However, you won’t believe it; it’s damn easy!
During summer, you most likely know what combination works best for a fresh fruit salad recipe. No matter which fruit you pick for this tempting meal when made right, it will turn out to be generous enough. Rest, you can substitute the currently listed with the available options in your region’s farmers’ market. Today, we are going to make the most out of:
- Oranges – 2
- Raspberries – 1 cup
- Peaches – 2 (Medium)
- Strawberries – 2 cups
- Pineapple – 1 cup
- Apricots – 3
- Kiwis – 2
- Blueberries – 2 cups
- Pears – 2 (Riped)
So, let’s get started with the recipe now.
- Before we begin cutting or slicing the fruit’s tender slices, we need to ensure that we wash or sanitize our hands sufficiently. At the same time, we need to rinse the selected fruits under running water properly. Make sure the water flow is not too hot, while cold works fine.
- Now, set them on a clean towel, pat them dry gently.
- Take a large mixing bowl and add two tablespoons of lemon juice along with a teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Now, proceed with cutting the fruits into small pieces while keeping the raspberries and blueberries aside.
- Segmenting orange can be a bit tricky for the newbies. Slice a thin section off the bottom and top. Place it upright on the cutting board. Take a sharp knife, begin from the top, and follow the natural curve to withdraw the outer peel. A pro tip to keep in mind is to hold the orange above the bowl to catch the yummy drippings of it.
- Toss all the fruits gently. If you wish, you can even add a slice of banana to combine the serving right. Add the reserved berries to the recipe.
- Garnish your fresh cocktail healthy salad recipe with some mint leaves or fruit cream.
There are significantly fewer chances that your bowl will linger with some leftovers from the fruit salad recipe. If, in any case, this happens, you are good to add it to your morning smoothie as a fiber addition. Or else, you can glaze it on whipped ricotta.
