A simple yet well-flavored dessert!
I wanted to make a more simple dessert of fresh fruits I got from the market. I made a fruit salad with a twist. This is easy & so yummy!
Recipe: For 2 persons
Ingredients:
200 gr of fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled & cut into 2 or 3
1 ripe mango, peeled & cut up into chunks
250 gr of seedless grapes, cleaned & cut in 2
juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons of ginger syrup
2 or 3 sprigs of fresh Moroccan mint, cleaned & leaves torn ( no stalks )
Method:
1. Take a bowl & place the cut up fruit in it.
2. Add the lime juice & the ginger syrup. Mix carefully with a spoon.
3. Taste! It has to taste fab, not too sweet!
4. Place cling film over the top & place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. I prefer 2 to 3 hours.
5. This is lovely enjoyed just as that or with some lovely vanilla ice cream.

How refreshing!
ginger syrup, eh? that sounds like something i wouldn't mind just drinking down.
so it's probably a little more tasty and appropriate draped over some lovely fruit–this looks stellar!
Sophie this sounds so refreshing and good, we love fruit salads in this house!
Sophie, this is stunning! And summer-delicious! I am off tomorrow to search for ginger syrup. I will use the mint from my garden (for now). I adore this, love this, want this. Even need this!
I love this! Ginger syrup with fresh fruits…what a winning combo! Great spin on a fruit salad!
Your fruit salad looks delicious!
Absolutely refreshing! And I love how colorful the salad is!
Sophie- This loooks absolutely gorgeous and sounds terrific! I love it!
First of all this is drop dead gorgeous. And it sounds so fresh and good too. I seem to be the only one who's not familiar with ginger syrup. Do you make it or buy it at the market? I love ginger – do you just add some to a simple syrup? I'm beginning to think I've lived in the back woods too long.Sam
Oh that looks delicious and I even have some fresh mint. I will have to try that!
I love this recipe, original and refreshing, I have to try!
This sounds really refreshing and delicious! Perfect for summer!
This recipe, and a lounge chair by the pool = paradise!
Love the addition of ginger. It really helps elevate the flavors of the fruits
That looks so refreshing, but is definitely calling out for some whipped cream!
Light and healthy. I love it!
That looks delicious Sophie! I am working on my award questions right now! It's not so simple though…:)

My husband and i ended up being really peaceful Edward managed to do his reports because of the ideas he was given when using the site. It’s not at all simplistic to simply find yourself making a gift of helpful hints that many many people have been selling. Therefore we consider we have got you to thank because of that. The main explanations you have made, the easy site menu, the friendships you can aid to engender – it’s got most powerful, and it’s leading our son in addition to the family consider that that matter is pleasurable, and that is pretty essential. Thanks for everything!
