Fruit Salads
These two fruit salads are easy, yet quite different from each other the version with pears and almonds is well suited for a crisp October day.
Ingredients
Nectarine and Mint Fruit Salad
- 1.5kg (3lbs) Nectarines medium ripe, washed
- 1 bunch Fresh Mint washed
Autumn Beauty Fruit Salad
- 1kg (2.2 lbs) pears medium ripe in season
- 1/2 Kg (1.1 lbs) Grapes
- 50gr (1/4 cup) almonds chopped
- 1-2 tbsp Almond Syrup
Instructions
Prepare the Nectarine Salad
- Peel & cut the fruit.
- Chop ½ a bunch of mint leaves.
- Mix and put it in your fridge. Mint will need a little time to impart its flavor to the fruit. Enjoy.
Prepare the Pear Salad
- Peel, rinse and cut the pears in chunks.
- Rinse and cut the grapes in two.
- Add the fruit together in a bowl with a little syrup, mix and reserve in the fridge.
- Just before serving add lightly grilled bits of almonds.
