Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 4 large ripe (but not too ripe) yellow peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • Seeds from 1 medium pomegranate

Other Ingredients

  • 6 large basil leaves, cut into ribbons
  • 12 teaspoons honey
  • ½ lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Combine Fruits and Basil: Add the sliced peaches, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, and basil ribbons into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and fresh lime juice over the fruit and basil mixture.
  3. Toss Salad: Gently toss everything together using tongs to evenly coat the fruit with the honey and lime dressing, ensuring flavors are well distributed.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve immediately as a fresh side dish, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2-4 days. Add basil ribbons last if prepping ahead to maintain their bright color.
