Strawberry Mint Salad
Serves 2
My Father has been making this recipe since I was a little girl. It was a seasonal treat that he saved for summer along with his famous lemon granita. Over the years I have experimented with his strawberry salad recipe and feel the only addition that really worked was including a little mint.
This is a beautiful sweet treat that is best enjoyed shared.
1 punnet of strawberries
Juice of 1.5 lemons
1 handful of chopped mint leaves
1 tablespoon of Coconut Sugar (regular sugar also fine)
Cut the strawberries into quarters and add to a serving bowl.
Add the juice of the lemons (mind the pips!) and sugar.
Mix together then cover the bowl and place it in the fridge to marinate for up to an hour.
Simply add the mint, mix it all through and the Strawberry Mint Salad will be ready to be devoured.
Notes: Instead of a serving bowl, you can divide the salad into a small mug for each guest. For a little extra decadence you can add a teaspoon of Coconut Butter and a sprinkling of Shredded Coconut.
