The Best Fruit Salad You'll Ever Eat

Strawberry, Orange & Mint Salad

This really is the best fruit salad I have ever had. We discovered it at one of our favorite local stores, Metropolitan Market. Unfortunately the one near where we live closed and we went without it for what seemed like an eternity. Until one day... We learned there was another location close by. When we went there and picked some more of this up, I asked for their recipe. Here's what you need:

5 large oranges, segmented
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
Fresh mint - about 1 1/2 tablespoons, chopped (add more or less depending on your preference)

Throw the orange segments and sliced strawberries in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, then the fresh mint. Mix and let sit for a bit (10 minutes or so) before serving.

With fresh strawberries abound at the grocery stores, I've been itching to make this. After making it last night for some friends, there was just enough left over tonight for a yummy snack!

Enjoy!
