Making a fresh summer fruit salad is very easy – just cut up your favorite fruits (mango, peaches, apricots, pears, melons, bananas, etc.), berries and dressing. The nuances of the taste of the salad depend on the latter. Dressings greatly enhance the taste of fruit salad. When choosing fruits for salad, you should trust your taste. It is better to mix mildly flavored fruits with acids, for example, pineapple with strawberry, melon with orange, grapes with kiwi and banana, apple with raisins, pear and cinnamon flavored plum.
Lemon or lime juice
This juice should be mixed with sugar or honey (amount according to taste). This is the simplest and most suitable dressing for all salads. This helps preserve the natural color of the fruit. There are fruits that turn black from the air and look unattractive. This is especially true of apples, pears, bananas, light stone fruits, avocados, and grapes.
Orange infusion
Melt 125 g of sugar over a low heat until brown, add 1/8 l of fresh orange juice and cook after seasoning with 1 teaspoon of orange peel cut into thin straws. Cool the infusion and mix with 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur, adding more flavor if needed.
Coconut
Mix 4 tablespoons of coconut liqueur with the juice of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of brown rum. Season if necessary.
Currant dressing
Heat 2 tablespoons of sherbet jelly until dissolved, remove from heat and stir in 120ml of cream, 2 tablespoons of blackcurrant liqueur, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Season if necessary.
Hazelnut top
25 g of hazelnuts dry roasted and ground. Mix with 6 tablespoons of white wine, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of liquid honey.
