Carefully remove the skin from each fruit and cut into rings.
Arrange on a platter and garnish with fresh mint.
Serve with mint syrup, sekanjabin.

Notes

You will need to make the mint syrup, sekanjabin, prior to preparing this salad.

Serving Suggestions: You can also substitute the mint syrup with honey. For a bit of crunch, garnish with chopped pistachios.

TO STORE: Store your mint syrup in an airtight container and refrigerate for several months. Because of the sugar and vinegar, it can keep fresh even longer. The fruit salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, otherwise you will have a wet goopy mess.
