Tipps
Choosing Fruit
Pick ripe but firm cantaloupes and fresh blueberries for this recipe. Overripe fruits may contain more histamine. The cantaloupes should have a sweet smell, while the blueberries should be plump and firm.
Preparing the Fruit
Rinse the blueberries and drain them well to avoid adding excess water to your salad. For the cantaloupe, ensure you remove the seeds and rind before cutting it into cubes.
Mint Enhancement
The mint leaves add a fresh twist to this fruit salad. For a stronger mint flavor, you can gently bruise the leaves with your fingers before sprinkling them over the fruit.
Serving and Storing
For a more flavorful salad, you can cover and refrigerate it for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. It's best to consume the salad the day it's made, as cut fruit can ferment and develop histamine over time.
Variations
You can add other low-histamine fruits to this salad, such as fresh strawberries or peaches, for a different flavor combination. Always remember to use fresh fruits to keep histamine levels low.
