Description

A light, colorful salad made with seasonal fruits served with velvety Greek yogurt and a delicate hint of lemon — the perfect suggestion for a romantic Valentine's Day. The combination of the sweetness of strawberries and banana with the slightly tart apple and refreshing mint makes the salad both juicy and crunchy (if we add granola). Serving it in the shape of a heart or on an elegant plate emphasizes the Valentine's character. The dish is light, easy to prepare, suitable for breakfast, dessert, or a light post-dinner treat — it looks aesthetically pleasing thanks to the contrast of red and yellow fruits with white yogurt and green mint.

Preparation steps

Preparing the fruits

1

Wash the strawberries under cold running water using a colander — hold them gently with your fingers to avoid crushing. Dry on a paper towel. Remove the stems using a small knife or a special huller, then slice the strawberries into pieces about 5-7 mm thick. Time: approx. 6-8 minutes.

Ingredients: Strawberries
Use a medium-sized cutting board and a sharp, small knife for precise cutting. Do not wash the strawberries too far in advance, as they will become watery. Handle them carefully to avoid crushing the fruit.
2

Peel the banana and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick. Immediately drizzle the banana slices with a tablespoon (about 10 ml) of the prepared lemon juice to prevent them from browning quickly. Time: 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients: Banana, Lemon juice
Use a sharp knife and short, confident strokes. If you don't have a juicer, squeeze the lemon by hand into a small bowl. Distribute the juice gently so as not to overpower the flavor of the banana.
3

Wash the apple, cut it into quarters, and remove the core (seed cavity) with a sharp knife. Then, cut the apple into even cubes about 8 mm. Gently drizzle the remaining lemon juice (about 5 ml) to preserve the color. Time: 3-4 minutes.

Ingredients: Apple, Lemon juice
It's best to work on a stable cutting board. If the apple is very juicy, gently pat the pieces dry with a paper towel before adding them to the salad to avoid thinning the yogurt.

Dressing

4

In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt (300 g) with 5 ml of lemon juice (the rest of the juice has already been used for the fruit). If desired, add honey (optional 30 g) and mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. The dressing should have a creamy consistency and a slightly tangy flavor with a subtle sweetness if you used honey. Time: 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients: Natural Greek yogurt, Lemon juice, Honey
Use a small ceramic bowl and a whisk or spoon. If you don't have a whisk, use a fork and make quick whipping motions. Do not thin the yogurt — if it is too thick, add a maximum of 1 teaspoon of water.

Salad assembly

5

In a large, wide bowl, gently mix the prepared fruits: strawberries, banana slices, and chopped apple. Drizzle them evenly with the prepared dressing (from step 4). Then, gently mix with a silicone spatula or salad spoon for 20-30 seconds — the goal is to coat the fruits with the dressing without crushing them.

Ingredients: Strawberries, Banana, Apple, Natural Greek yogurt
Use a large bowl to have enough space for gentle mixing. Stir slowly and from the bottom up — quick strokes can crush the soft fruits. Check the taste: if it's not sweet enough, add a drop of honey (optional).

Serving and decoration

6

Divide the salad onto two plates or in bowls. To give it a Valentine's character, you can arrange the strawberries in the shape of a heart on top or use a heart-shaped metal mold and fill it with the salad. Sprinkle the top with granola (optional, 30 g per serving) for crunch and decorate with 3-4 fresh mint leaves. Time: 3-5 minutes.

Ingredients: Granola (optional), Fresh mint (optional), Strawberries, Natural Greek yogurt
If you are using a mold, place it on a plate and gently fill it with the salad, then lift the mold vertically. Use a pastry tweezers for precise placement of the mint. Additionally, you can add more honey for sprinkling if you prefer sweeter desserts.

Final tips

7

You can serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dressing cool slightly. If you plan to prepare it in advance (up to 2 hours), keep the fruits and dressing separate and combine them just before serving to avoid softening the fruits with the yogurt.

Ingredients: Strawberries, Banana, Apple, Natural Greek yogurt
Do not store the salad with dressing for longer than 2-3 hours before serving — the fruits release juice and it becomes watery. Storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator extends freshness by a few hours.

Fun Fact

💡

Strawberries have been cultivated in Europe since the 18th century and have always been associated with romance — their red color and sweet taste make them a common ingredient in Valentine's desserts.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve chilled on white plates or in clear bowls to highlight the colors. Arrange the strawberries in a heart shape, add mint leaves, and optionally place a fresh raspberry in the center as an accent. For adults, you can serve with a small glass of sparkling wine or prosecco.

🥡 Storage

If you prepare the salad in advance, store the fruits and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. Once combined, serve within 2 hours. Not suitable for reheating (serve only cold).
