Simple Fruit Salad with Pineapple Mint

Easy fruit salad

When I am cleaning out my refrigerator, everything that I pull out seems to reconfigure itself into a salad. Tonight I had to unload a peach, a plum and a few tired strawberries, so cutting them all up and mixing them together seemed to be a good idea--and it was. I decided to be fancy and add some pineapple mint.

I've had the pineapple mint growing in my garden for a couple of months but never did anything with it. Tonight, while I was reading on the porch, I decided to pinch off some and add it to my iced tea. It is fantastic-- a bit citrissy and more sweet than other mints I've grown. I made a whole pot of iced tea with this mint and have plans to use it as much as possible this summer.
