Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 large ripe (but not too ripe) yellow peaches, sliced
- 1 cup blackberries
- ¾ cup blueberries
- Seeds from 1 medium pomegranate
Herbs & Dressing
- 6 large basil leaves, cut into ribbons
- 1–2 teaspoons honey
- ½ lime, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Slice the peaches and collect the blackberries, blueberries, and pomegranate seeds in a large mixing bowl to gather all the fresh fruit ingredients.
- Add basil: Cut the basil leaves into thin ribbons and add them to the fruit bowl for flavor and fresh aroma.
- Toss the salad: Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and the juice of half a lime over the fruit and basil, then gently toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon to evenly coat the fruit without bruising it.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately for the best freshness, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2-4 days. To retain basil’s color, add basil ribbons last if preparing in advance.
Notes
- The salad can be made a day ahead; add basil last to preserve its vibrant green color.
- Store the salad in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-4 days.
- This salad is highly customizable with other fresh summer fruits as preferred.
