Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a fruit salad dessert with mango and strawberries ? Prepare fruits, berries and lettuce leaves, namely: rinse thoroughly and let dry. You can take each ingredient in a different amount, it's a matter of taste and preference. I cooked from what I had at the moment and according to my taste. The only thing is that it is better to take ripe and juicy fruits and berries.
Step 2:
The whole salad is prepared very quickly, but start with the dressing so that it has time to brew for a while. Rub the Italian herbs in a mortar. Add salad oil according to preference, a little fresh lemon juice and a spoonful of liquid honey, stir well. The greens can be changed to your liking, and fresh will do well. It is better to take the first—pressed oil, unrefined - it is more fragrant. I had salt in the composition of herbs, if there is no salt, add a pinch separately.
Step 3:
Put lettuce leaves in a spacious salad bowl. Peel off the films and cut the grapefruit slices. Do not get too small, it is enough for 3-4 segments. If the fruit is juicy, do all the manipulations over the salad bowl to preserve all the juice, and it will wonderfully complement the dressing.
Step 4:
Peel and slice the pear and mango pulp. It is better to cut pieces of fruit about the same size.
Step 5:
Remove the stalk from the strawberry, and cut the berry into 4-6 pieces, depending on the size of the berry. Add blueberries. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix very gently.
Step 6:
Serve immediately, while the lettuce leaves retain their juiciness and crunch. The salad immediately lets out a lot of juice and is completely unable to stand waiting for guests, keep this in mind. Therefore, you should cook exactly as many people as there will be. But I just love everything that remains on the bottom (and I always keep the last portion for myself)!
This is the very first spring salad !
When there is not even the earliest greens yet, but they are already brought from more southern regions.
Of course, you can eat everything separately or cook only a fruit and berry version, let's say with yogurt dressing.
But try to introduce lettuce leaves and fill it with salad dressing, adding sweetness and honey flavor. You will get a completely different, just a firework of flavors!
Prepare salads only from fully chilled products. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
