Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a fruit salad dessert with mango and strawberries? Prepare fruits, berries and lettuce, namely: rinse thoroughly and let dry. You can take each ingredient in a different quantity, 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 fruits and berries that are ripe and juicy.

Step 2

Step 2
The whole salad comes together very quickly, but start with the dressing so it has time to sit for a while. Grind the Italian herbs in a mortar. Add salad oil of your choice, a little fresh lemon juice and a spoonful of liquid honey, stir well. You can change the greens to your liking; fresh ones work well too. It is better to take virgin oil, unrefined — it is more aromatic. I had salt in the herbs, if I don’t have it, add a pinch separately.

Step 3

Step 3
Place lettuce leaves in a spacious salad bowl. Peel the films and cut the grapefruit into slices. Don’t make it too small, enough for 3-4 segments. If the fruit is juicy, do all the manipulations over the salad bowl to retain all the juice, and it will wonderfully complement the dressing.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel and chop the pear and mango pulp. It is better to cut pieces of fruit approximately the same size.

Step 5

Step 5
Remove the stem from the strawberry and cut the berry into 4-6 parts, depending on the size of the berry. Add blueberries. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss very carefully.

Step 6

Step 6
Serve immediately while the lettuce leaves are still juicy and crunchy. The salad immediately releases a lot of juice and is completely unable to stand while waiting for guests, keep this in mind. Therefore, you should cook exactly as much as there will be people. But I just love everything that remains at the bottom (and I always keep the last portion for myself)!
