Sliced peaches, nectarines and plums go from simple to sublime when soaked in a refreshing ginger-lime syrup infused with fresh mint. Be sure to let the fruit marinate for at least 45 minutes but not too much longer or the ginger will mellow out. Serve alone as a light dessert or a lovely accompaniment to pound cake, vanilla ice cream, or both!

Served this at book club last night! Now everyone wants the recipe! I tweeked it a bit – I used finely diced ginger to the syrup (instead of throwing it away). Could you please post calorie count!
Delicious!
Hi Diane, So glad everyone enjoyed it! I just added the nutritional info to the recipe.
Our farmers market opens next week — I will buy lots of peaches so I can try this salad. Sounds like the perfect summer salad!
Delicious and perfect for a summer breakfast out on the patio… I also add just a bit of lemon zest. Wonderful!
I can’t wait to try this!!!
this fruit salad combines some of my favorite flavors – mint, ginger and yummy sweet juicy peaches. Thank you!!!
Love this recipe. The ginger and mint Really add layers of flavor to the fruit. As soon as these fruits are available my family requests this fruit salad!
Beautiful! I will try it as soon as peach season arrives!
Can’t wait for peach season! I did not think ginger would go with peach but i’ll have to see how they blend.
This recipe had a bit too much fresh ginger for my taste, but I seem a bit sensitive to it. Maybe if I peeled it or chopped it more finely?
Nadia, Sometimes ginger can be pretty strong, but it does mellow out in this salad the longer it sits. Perhaps just use less next time to suit your taste. Hope that helps 🙂
My daughter made this first, and urged me to give it a try. It was the perfect addition to a Sunday neighborhood brunch! .Even though I’m not a ginger fan, I enjoyed it.
