Easy Summer Fruit Salad with Ginger Infused Honey

Easy Summer Fruit Salad

I love making an easy summer fruit salad during the summer. Berries, melons and all sorts of sweet ripe fruit is available in abundance.  For this easy summer fruit salad recipe I decided to add a little something special in the way of a few tablespoons of a ginger infused honey. The fresh fruit is sweet enough and doesn’t need any extra sweetener . I am trying to add more fresh herbs and spices to my diet that have health benefits. Ginger is one of those herbs that add a wealth of benefits along with it’s warm spicy flavor. 

Infusing honey with the flavor of ginger is as easy as adding some slices or slivers of fresh ginger root to a jar of honey and let it steep for at least a week. If you can’t wait a week for your ginger infused honey you can gently warm the honey and ginger together on the stove to speed up the process. 

Ginger is an awesome herb that has so many health benefits. I try to add it whereever I can. 

During the winter I like to keep a small mason jar of honey in the cabinet that I have added some fresh ginger to. It is very soothing on a sore throat or for a cough.  Out of the blue I decided to add a little bit of that honey to a bowl of fruit salad I was making. 

I loved it! The light mint and ginger flavors married perfectly in this easy summer fruit salad. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it as much as I did.
