White Balsamic & Mint Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 1-lb package of strawberries, quartered
  • 1 peach, cubed
  • 1 mango, cubed
  • 1 medium honeydew melon, cubed (about 3 cups)
  • 1 12-oz package of blueberries
  • 1 12-oz package of blackberries, halved
  • 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar, reduced to 1/4 cup
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup mint, julienned (plus more for garnishing)

Directions:

Cut up the fruit and set aside in a large bowl. With a small skillet over high heat, allow the white balsamic to come to a boil and reduce the liquid until about half of the amount is left (about 4-5 minutes).  Let cool for a minute or two before adding to the honey and mint, in a separate container. Immediately start to muddle the mint in with the honey and hot balsamic, to release the flavor. Cover and set the dressing in the fridge until it has cooled down. Squeeze the lemon half over the fruit, and then pour the balsamic-honey-mint dressing over the top, mixing to coat well. Garnish with more chopped up mint.
