Pineapple Salad recipe – Pineapple and Mint Syrup Recipe – Easy Pineapple Fruit Salad Dessert

A fresh pineapple salad thanks to this mint flavor. Ideal for concluding a meal with lightness. I recommend you to buy ripe pineapple instead of green ones.

Ingredients for the Pineapple Fruit Salad with Mint Syrup

1 ripe pinepapple
1 pint (1/2 l) water
1/2 cup (150 g) cane sugar
1 bunch of mint

Preparation pineapple and mint salad

For the syrup: Heat water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Peel the pineapple and cut it into 8 pieces lengthwise. Remove the heart, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
Remove the stalks from the 3/4 of the bunch of mint then chop the leaves and dip them in the syrup off the heat. Let steep for 15 minutes.
Pass the mixture through a strainer to keep only the syrup.
Pour the syrup over the pineapple cubes in a large bowl and put it in the fridge. Let stand one hour before serving.

The chef’s advice: Use the top branches of fresh mint for garnish just before serving because they are prettier.
