Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the fruit, berries and lettuce leaves: rinse everything thoroughly and let it dry. You can take any amount of each ingredient you like - it’s all about taste and preference. I used what I had on hand and adjusted to my own taste. The only important thing is that the fruit and berries should be ripe and juicy.
Step 2
The whole salad is made very quickly, but start with the dressing so it has time to infuse a little. Grind the Italian herbs in a mortar. Add salad oil of your choice, a little fresh lemon juice and a spoon of liquid honey, and mix well. You can change the herbs to your taste, fresh herbs also work great. It’s best to use first cold-pressed, unrefined oil - it’s more aromatic. My herbs already contained salt; if yours don’t, add a pinch separately.
Step 3
Put the lettuce leaves into a large salad bowl. Peel the membranes from the grapefruit and cut the segments. Do not cut them too small, 3-4 pieces from each segment are enough. If the fruit is very juicy, do all the cutting over the salad bowl so you keep all the juice - it will perfectly complement the dressing.
Step 4
Peel and slice the pear and the mango flesh. It’s best to cut all the fruit into pieces of approximately the same size.
Step 5
Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut each berry into 4-6 pieces, depending on its size. Add the blueberries. Pour the dressing over the salad and very gently toss everything together.
Step 6
Serve immediately, while the lettuce leaves are still juicy and crunchy. The salad quickly releases a lot of juice and can’t really wait for guests, so keep this in mind. It’s better to prepare exactly as many portions as you plan to serve. But I just adore everything that remains on the bottom of the bowl (and I always keep the last portion for myself)!
