FRUIT SALAD
Refreshing, light and fragrant. This fruit salad is an ideal choice for dessert or breakfast, especially during the warmer months of the year. It combines the natural sweetness of seasonal fruits with a delicate cinnamon syrup that enhances the flavours without overpowering them. As a finishing touch, we add creamy Mandrekas Greek yoghurt, a product of exceptional quality, made in Greece according to the traditional recipe and with a smooth texture that makes it the perfect complement to this recipe.
Make the cinnamon syrup. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon zest. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced. Remove from the heat, leave to cool and strain.
Mix the fruit. In a large bowl, add all the chopped fruit and pour the syrup over the top. Gently mix so that the fruit is well coated.
Serve. Spoon the salad into individual bowls, top with a generous spoonful of Mandrekas yoghurt and garnish with fresh mint.
Codina's suggestions
For an even more satisfying breakfast, serve this salad with crunchy granola or chopped nuts. Mandrekas Greek yoghurt adds a unique creaminess that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit and the spicy note of the syrup. A simple, healthy recipe packed with all the flavour of the Mediterranean diet.
