Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Herbs

  • 3 ripe peaches, washed and sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon grape juice (natural)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (natural gelling agent)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing and slicing ripe peaches into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform chunks to ensure every forkful has a perfect peach balance.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine fresh lime juice, honey (natural), and a splash of grape juice (natural). Whisk these together until the honey dissolves completely, creating a smooth, tangy dressing.
  3. Combine Fruit and Dressing: Place the peach slices in a medium bowl, drizzle the dressing over the fruit, and toss gently to coat every piece with vibrant flavor.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Seeds: Chop fresh basil leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad along with a teaspoon of chia seeds (natural gelling agent) for texture and nutrition. If using, add chopped mint at this stage.
  5. Final Touches: Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to bring out the natural sweetness of the fruit and mix well. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose ripe peaches: The sweeter and juicier the peaches, the better the salad will taste.
  • Use fresh lime juice over bottled for a brighter, fresher taste.
  • Toss fruit gently to avoid bruising or breaking the delicate slices.
  • Allow the salad to chill so the flavors fully develop and combine.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey (natural) if desired.
