Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 2 ripe peaches, 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold running water. Drain them in a colander and set aside to dry.
- Take the peaches and slice them into thin wedges. If desired, you can peel the peaches for a smoother texture, but leaving the skin on adds a lovely color and additional nutrients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries and sliced peaches. Gently toss them together to ensure they are evenly mixed without bruising the fruit.
- Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the berries and peaches. The mint will add a refreshing flavor to the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice until well combined. This mixture will serve as a light dressing for your salad.
- Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruits evenly with the dressing.
- Once everything is well combined, let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Peach Berry Bellini Salad in individual bowls or on a large serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
- Fruit Selection: Choose ripe, in-season peaches and berries for the most intense flavor. Look for fruits that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
- Mint Matters: Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If possible, pick mint from your garden or choose the brightest, most aromatic leaves at the store.
- Dressing Technique: Whisk the honey and lemon juice thoroughly to create a smooth, well-integrated dressing that coats the fruits evenly.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of elegance, chill the serving bowls beforehand to keep the salad cool and refreshing.
- Make-Ahead Tip: While best served fresh, you can prepare this salad up to 2 hours in advance. Just add the mint and dressing just before serving to maintain maximum freshness.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different berry combinations or add a sprinkle of toasted almonds for extra crunch!
