Fruit Salad with Herb, Citrus, Mint-Maple, or Basic Syrup

This vibrant fruit salad is a celebratory display of seasonal produce, combining the sweetness of tropical mango and papaya with the tart brightness of fresh berries and citrus. It serves as a sophisticated low sugar dessert or a refreshing breakfast option, allowing the natural flavours of the fruit to take centre stage. By using a light syrup infusion rather than heavy juices, the dish remains crisp and elegant, perfect for summer gatherings or light weekend brunches.

Customisation is key to this versatile recipe, with options to infuse your salad with aromatic herbs, maple, or extra citrus zest. Whether you choose the earthy notes of rosemary or the cooling lift of fresh mint, these subtle additions elevate the fruit without adding unnecessary refined sugars. Serve it chilled on its own or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt for a nutritious, fibre-rich treat that the whole family will enjoy.
