Ingredients
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 ripe nectarines, pitted and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon matcha powder
pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Prepare the fruit: Hull and quarter the strawberries, then cut the peeled and pitted mangoes and nectarines into 1-inch chunks. Transfer all prepared fruit to a large serving bowl.
Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, white balsamic vinegar, sugar, minced ginger, matcha powder, and salt until completely smooth and the matcha powder is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or tang as desired.
Combine: Pour the matcha ginger vinaigrette over the fruit and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. The flavors will deepen as it rests. Serve chilled as a light appetizer, side dish, or refreshing snack.
Comments
Matcha powder forces a special trip to Harris Teeter or a natural-foods retailer—it's not a standard stock item at Food Lion, Walmart, ALDI, or Kroger in Charlotte, and that's a real errand for a weeknight side dish. The fruit itself is straightforward and seasonal, and at roughly $3–4 per serving the cost is manageable, but the matcha and coconut milk push it higher than a basic fruit salad. The stated 20 minutes is honest for assembly, though prep assumes you're buying pre-cut mango or are comfortable with that knife work. This is a same-night dish with no reheat value, best suited to a dinner party rather than everyday family eating; the vinaigrette is tangy and modern, which some households will love and others may find an acquired taste on fruit.
