Fruit Salad Ingredients
- 2–3 ripe juicy peaches, washed and sliced into wedges or bite-size chunks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons golden honey (natural)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Start by washing the peaches and slicing them into thin wedges or bite-size chunks. Choose peaches that feel soft yet firm to ensure the best texture.
- Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice and golden honey (natural) until well combined. This creates a perfect balance of zesty and sweet flavors.
- Combine the ingredients: Gently toss the sliced peaches in the honey-lime dressing until evenly coated. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the peaches. Add a pinch of chili flakes if you prefer a little heat.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for a refreshing and cool treat.
Notes
- Pick ripe peaches for the sweetest and juiciest salad.
- Use fresh lime juice for vibrant flavor; avoid bottled juice.
- Tear basil leaves instead of chopping to release aroma without bruising.
- Adjust honey amount to taste for balanced sweetness.
- Serve immediately or chilled; best consumed within a few hours to maintain texture.
