Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper, and set it aside.
- In a small, non-stick saucepan, heat the 1/3 cup of sugar over medium heat.
- Stir continuously as the sugar begins to melt and caramelize. It will turn a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it.
- Once the sugar is fully melted and has a deep amber color, immediately add the macadamia nuts to the saucepan.
- Stir quickly to coat the nuts with the caramelized sugar.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Allow it to cool completely until it hardens.
- While the praline cools, wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Rinse the raspberries and blueberries gently under cold water and let them drain.
- Once the praline has cooled and hardened, break it into small pieces or roughly chop it into bite-sized chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
- Add half of the praline pieces to the bowl, tossing gently to mix them with the berries.
- To serve, place a generous dollop of Greek yogurt in the bottom of individual serving bowls or plates.
- Spoon the berry and praline mixture over the yogurt.
- Sprinkle the remaining praline pieces on top for added crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crunchy, and creamy combination!
Tips:
- Ensure your berries are fresh and ripe for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the macadamias lightly before making the praline to enhance their natural nuttiness.
- Allow the praline to cool completely before breaking it into pieces to prevent it from sticking together.
- For added flavor, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla extract to the Greek yogurt.
- This salad can be made ahead of time, but for the best experience, add the praline just before serving to keep it crunchy.
This Berry Salad with Macadamia Praline is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors and textures that will delight your taste buds. The freshness of the berries combined with the creamy Greek yogurt and the crunch of the macadamia praline makes it a well-rounded and satisfying dish. Enjoy this treat as a sweet end to a meal or a refreshing midday snack, and savor the harmonious blend of ingredients.
