This fruit salad is absolutely bursting with the flavours of summer & has subtle floral notes from the orange flower water. My family adore eating their fruit this way & it’s always something friends request I bring when we go to dinner.

Serves 6 – 8

• 2 cups tropical or exotic juice
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup dessert apples, cubed
• 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
• 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
• 1 cup banana, sliced
• 1 cup pineapple, cubed
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 – 1 tsp orange flower water

 

• granulated sugarfruit juice
• fresh mint sprigs
• orange flowers / blossoms or similar

 

1. Place all the prepared fruits in a large, non reactive bowl.
2. Pour the tropical juice over the fruit. Add the orange flower water & the lime juice.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & allow the fruit salad to sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours – this will give the flavours time to devolop & meld & for the salad to chill nicely.
4. Serve in individual dessert glasses. Dip the rim of each glass in a little fruit juice then coat with the sugar.

 

1. Serve with honeyed greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream & chocolate shavings for a truly induldgent dessert!
2. This fruit salad is delicious & refreshing all year round, when the fruits listed are out of season, you can use any fruits you like including tinned fruits such as pears, peaches & pineapple.
