Fruit Meet Herbs image

I loved the combination of full ripe fruits and intensive flavors of fresh herbs at first try. This easy to make recipe is the outcome - a summerly small salad. Can be used as a side dish or whenever you feel it is time for an extra fruits 'n' herbs snack. Use full ripe fresh fruits and herbs for best results. Serve with ice tea or some dry white wine.

Time 15m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 peach
10 -15 strawberries, to make about 1 3/4 cups
1/2 apple (firm, not to sweet)
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaf
1/2 tablespoon fresh peppermint leaf
1/2 tablespoon fresh sage leaf
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon walnut oil, can be replaced by olive oil
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 pinch salt
1 -2 walnuts, roasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Whisk together with a fork or small whisker until emulgated. Set aside.
  • Rinse the fruits and tap dry with paper towels.
  • Cut peach into bite-sized pieces. Cut strawberries in half or bite-sized pieces.
  • Remove the core from the apple and cut into bite-sized pieces. Put into small bowl, add apple cider vinegar and mix. This avoids brown discoloring of the apple.
  • Add peach and strawberries to apple. Add dressing and mix gently.
  • Cut the fresh herb leaves into small strips. Add them to the fruits and mix gently. Add some walnuts as topping and serve immediately.
  • ENJOY.
  • NOTE: Herb leaves should be prepared shortly before serving to maintain the full flavor. Basil leaves also tend towards getting brown.
  • NOTE: We always have fresh basil, peppermint and sage plants in pots on our terrace. So it is very easy to pick up the necessary leaves immediately before use.

This recipe was a great way to get my kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. They loved the colorful salad and the sweet and tangy dressing.

I loved the idea of this recipe, but I found that the flavors were a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred it with a little less basil and mint.

5 stars! This recipe is a keeper. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The combination of fruit and herbs is so unique and refreshing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a little less honey. But overall, it was a good recipe.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the walnuts from this recipe. But even without them, the salad was still delicious. The goat cheese and fruit were a perfect combination.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! I especially liked the addition of the honey and balsamic vinegar. It gave the salad a nice sweet and tangy flavor.

Meh. I wasn't a huge fan of this recipe. The flavors were just too strong for me. I think I'll stick to my usual green salad next time.

This was a great way to use up some leftover fruit. I had a bunch of peaches and nectarines that were about to go bad, and this recipe was a great way to use them up. The salad was delicious and refreshing.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit in my salads, but this recipe changed my mind. The watermelon and basil were a refreshing and flavorful pair. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet fruit and aromatic herbs was a unique and delicious twist on a classic salad. I especially loved the contrast between the juicy peaches and the tangy goat cheese.
