Scale

Fruit

  • 4 large ripe yellow peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • Seeds from 1 medium pomegranate

Herbs and Flavorings

  • 6 large basil leaves, cut into ribbons
  • 12 teaspoons honey

Instructions

  2. Add Basil: Sprinkle the basil ribbons over the mixed fruit to impart freshness and a distinctive herbal aroma that complements the sweetness.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the honey over the fruit mixture, then squeeze the juice from half a lime to add a zesty tang. This balance enhances the natural flavors.
