Ingredients

Scale
Fruit
- 4 large ripe (but not too ripe) yellow peaches, sliced
- 1 cup blackberries
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- Seeds from 1 medium pomegranate
Herbs
- 6 large basil leaves, cut into ribbons
Dressing
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Gently wash and slice the peaches, ensuring they are ripe but firm to maintain texture. Rinse the blackberries and blueberries thoroughly and remove the seeds from the pomegranate.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, and the basil ribbons. This creates a colorful, aromatic base for the salad.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and freshly squeezed lime juice evenly over the fruit and basil mixture. The honey adds natural sweetness, while lime brightens the flavors.
- Toss and Serve: Using tongs, gently toss the salad until all fruit is well-coated with the dressing and basil is evenly distributed. Serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
- For make-ahead: Combine all ingredients except basil up to 1 day ahead; add basil ribbons just before serving to preserve their color and freshness.
- Leftovers keep well for 2–4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Customize by adding other fruits like strawberries, cherries, or kiwi, or swap basil for mint if desired.
