No-Fat Raw Strawberry Orange Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved (or quartered if very large)
  • oranges
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint, plus a sprig for garnish

  1. Place the strawberries into a serving bowl.
  2. Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange so they sit flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, work your way around the fruits to remove all the skin and pith. Cupping the orange in one hand and working over the serving bowl, carefully cut the segments out from between the membranes. (Be sure to cut only until you reach the middle of the fruit!) Over a separate small bowl, firmly squeeze the remaining membranes to release all the orange juice.
  3. Squeeze the lemon juice and orange juice over the strawberries and orange segments and gently toss to combine. Sprinkle with fresh mint.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve in shallow bowls with spoons.
