Fruit Salad with Honey, Lemon & Mint Dressing
By Priya Srinivasan - I Camp in My Kitchen - Thursday, November 05, 2015
Very simple salad that can be served as a dessert too. I make this salad often, particularly when i have loads of fruits in my fridge, that happens after every pooja or party at home. Especially, after navrathri, i always end up with tonnes of fruits, even after giving away as much as i could to my friends, and acquaintances.
So, at those times, this colorful and zesty fruit salad comes to my rescue and my hubby is a huge fan for fruit salads, he can skip a meal enjoying a bowl of this. I usually add only honey and a dash of pepper to my fruit salads. But recently i came across this honey, lemon & mint dressing.
Oh my god, what a zingy and zesty dressing, definitely try this one and you will never make a fruit salad without this dressing!
I actually strained the last drop of dressing that was left in the bowl after relishing the fruit salad, oh god, it tasted so good,you can actually slurp it with a spoon separately. The pepper and salt gives a nice burst of spice and adds a nice balance to the zesty dressing.
