This salad is inspired by dessert that we once had at friend’s wedding party in Jamaica… It was made of fresh tropical fruits in condensed milk dressing.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups of mixed fruits such as cantaloupe or honeydew melon balls, blueberries or black grapes, strawberries and apples
- ⅓ cup (about 200 g) sweetened condensed milk
- small handful of fresh mint leaves (chopped finely)
EQUIPMENT
METHOD
- To make the sauce combine chopped mint with condensed milk.
- Share fruits to the bowls, sprinkle with minty sauce and enjoy.
Makes 4 servings.
NOTES
You can also use basil leaves instead of mint, it tastes especially good with melon, blueberries and strawberries.
For this salad I used ½ honeydew melon (balls), about 7 large strawberries (quartered), 1 green Granny Smith apple (cubed) and two handfuls of black grapes.
For healthier version of this salad take a look at my daughter’s Melon Bowl Fruit Salad in Yogurt Dressing.
This looks delicious and if I were you, would make it again!
Love it. It brings back memories of home in Nigeria when we always had fruit salad with evapourated/condensed milk, without the herbs…..yummy!
What a welcoming sight for mid-February in Minnesota (read: snow,cold, ice) All that goodly fruit swirled in a creamy sauce. Delicious.
A lovely refreshing salad this is!
thanks!
I agree with Claudia, I’m in chicago and all i want is summer fresh berries!
this looks really good….
This is so absolutely screaming warmth and summer. wish I could have a bowl full right now.
