This is such an amazing fruit salad that packs a lot of flavor and it’s super easy to make.
Strawberry Orange Salad with Mint
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries hulled and quartered
- 2-3 oranges
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tbsp fresh mint coarsely chopped
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange so they sit flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, work your way around the fruits to remove all the skin and pith.
- Cupping the orange in one hand and working over the serving bowl, carefully cut the segments out from between the membranes. (Be sure to cut only until you reach the middle of the fruit!) Over a separate small bowl, firmly squeeze the remaining membranes to release all the orange juice.
- Add the lemon juice to the freshly squeezed orange juice and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the strawberries and orange segments and gently toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with fresh mint. Taste and add more lemon juice if necessary (the syrup should have a perfect balance of tart and sweet).
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to six hours. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
