A great summer classic, fresh and fragrant, where ripe berries are simply enhanced with lemon, sugar, and fresh mint. Serve well chilled, when the fruit is juicy and glossy.
Ingredients
- 300 g strawberries
- 150 g raspberries
- 125 g blueberries
- 100 g red currants
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 piece lemon
- 12 leaves fresh mint
Method
- Quickly rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and red currants under a stream of cool water, then drain them on a clean kitchen towel until they are no longer wet.
- Hull the strawberries and cut them depending on their size, keeping generous pieces that remain juicy to the bite.
- Place the strawberries in a bowl, add the sugar and lemon juice, then mix gently until the fruit begins to shine.
- Let rest in the refrigerator for a short quarter of an hour, until the strawberries release a light, syrupy red juice.
- Add the raspberries, blueberries, and red currants, then lift the fruit with a large spoon to coat them without crushing them.
- Finely slice the mint just before serving, when its fragrance is still bright and herbaceous.
- Fold the mint into the salad, taste the juice, and adjust only if the fruit lacks sweetness or brightness.
- Serve well chilled in a bowl or shallow dish, with the juice distributed at the bottom and a few mint leaves visible on top.
