This year the high temperatures have been a long time coming. In the North we are a bit more used to it, when a glimpse of what summer might look like appears, it fades away. But what beautiful days we have here! The absence of the recurring presence of the sun means that when it comes out, we enjoy it twice as much.
But well, meteorology aside, the truth is that summer has finally arrived and with it, higher temperatures, lighter dinners and the need to hydrate more often.
Salads and fruit should be part of our diet all year round.But summer is the preferred time of year for most people to prepare this type of dish and eat these fresher and more hydrating foods. So, let's take advantage of these months to enjoy tasty salads!
Today we suggest a fruit salad so that when you come home from the beach, the swimming pool or a terrace, you can enjoy a tasty, healthy, fresh and quick-to-prepare dish.
Which fruits to add to your dish? It's summer and the range of fruit available in the supermarket is immense, all you have to do is choose the one you like best! However, I'm going to give you a few tips on how to make a magnificent fruit salad.
You may be thinking, tips on how to make a fruit salad, what's the mystery? Dear reader, anything, no matter how simple it may seem, must be done well in order to
making the difference between acceptable and memorable. And I expect your summer dinners to be memorable, right? Take note:
- Add seasonal fruit. During the summer season there are plenty of delicious, vitamin-packed fruits to include in your salad.
- Personally, I am one of those people who like very green fruit. Whether you belong to this group or the opposite, add fruit that is at the same level of ripeness.
- Combination. Mix fruits with a more sour taste with a sweeter taste to find the perfect balance.
-
It's better if it's cool, because that's why it's summer, right? If you usually keep the fruit out of the fridge, prepare the salad and put it in the fridge for a while to keep it at a good temperature.
- And the last recommendation, but just as important as the others, add a topping to your salad to make it, as I said before, truly memorable. Of course, we're talking about a good handful of La Newyorkina granola that will help make your salad taste outstanding.
Oh, and another thing, don't forget about presentation. Food is also appealing to the eye and that's why the image of the dishes should not be neglected. Fruits are colourful, which will help to improve the aesthetics of the plate. In addition, you can cut the fruit into shapes (we are big fans of the star-shaped cutter) and, of course, choose a nice container that will help you give the final touch that your fruit salad needs.
And that's it,
Ready to serve!
