Detox summer fruit salad
Pile the very healthiest fruits – strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, raspberries, kiwi, apple, mango and pomegranate seeds – into a big bowl to marinate in a little honey flavoured with lemon verbena. Add some dried fruit too, which is more filling than fresh. Scatter toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds over the top to make this even more nutritious and sustaining. This salad is best eaten within 24 hours.
Serves 4 (or 8 if served with yoghurt)
