Baby leaf salad and fruit: the perfect match in summer

Looking for a fresh, tasty and colourful salad? Discover the combination of baby leaf salad + fruit, the perfect mix for a quick lunch without foregoing taste.

Slaving over a hot stove is the last thing you want in summer, so luckily even a cold dish can become an explosion of taste and goodness. How? By pairing baby leaf salads and seasonal fruit! 

We are used to eating fruit at the end of the meal, as if it were a dessert, but summer fruits can be the secret ingredient for a fresh, colourful and tasty salad that takes just minutes to prepare.

Here are our favourite pairings using baby leaf salads as a base and adding seasonal fruit that is easily found in any LSD retail store.

Green baby lettuce and melon

The bright orange of the melon blends perfectly with the green of the baby lettuce and creates a soft and delicate balance .

If you also add baby tomatoes and yoghurt you get a complete salad from a nutritional point of view, but above all a cheerful dish that colours your summer days without foregoing a healthy and genuine meal.

Baby Mix e More

Baby Mixes are all you need to create a colourful and captivating salad. You will have tried it with traditional Greek diced feta cheese and olives , but if you want to titillate the palate, try them with blackberries and caprino goat cheese .

The sweet taste of the blackberries balances the slightly bitter taste of the goat cheese and the colours of the baby mixes give the perfect touch to this combination, making it a healthy, light and unexpected dish to serve!

Rocket and green apples

Do you love strong tastes ? Then a dish of rocket and green apples is the one for you.
Fresh, spicy and sometimes slightly sour, it becomes even more tasty if you add walnuts and flakes of parmesan , but you can also soften their flavours using soft cheeses such as stracchino or cottage cheese.

Red chard + Parma ham

If cheese is not for you, you can also create a salad with pieces of Parma ham, paired with the red chard baby leaf salads.
The red stem of the salad is the perfect match between the green of the leaves and the pinkish colour of the ham, but if you want to add a typical touch of a great chef, also add baby tomatoes and fresh mint: tasty goodness guaranteed!

Lamb’s lettuce and pear

Does the idea of eating a dish with baby salad and fruit appeal to you, but you are afraid that such a strong taste can ruin your appetite? Start with a more delicate pairing.
We recommend lamb’s lettuce and pear and, if you want to add some colour, add some red chicory leaves.
We are sure that, after having tasted it, you will no longer be able to go without a salad paired with seasonal fruit .
