No time to ramble, been super busy with taking the in-laws around. By the
time this post goes up, we'd be in Scotland, taking in the highlands and whiskey
and all that's Scottish, well except Haggis maybe.
I made this salad on a day I felt too lazy to fix up something for lunch and
since my fruit basket was crying out to me I thought I'd whip up something
fruity. I thought it wouldn't fill me, but strangely it did and I think I should
make it a practise. There is no recipe as such, just throw in a bunch of fruits
you like, do a simple dressing and if you like, add a chilli or so for some
spice. Here is another
fruit salad I made a while back
Use fruits that are in season and if they are fresh, then nothing like it.
But mine was about 2 to 3 days old and was almost at the wilting stage when I
decided to rescue them. It tasted great nonetheless. I love fruits but I'm kinda
lazy to eat fruit, especially when it involved peeling and slicing and
stuff.
- Mango- 1 cup, peeled and diced
- Watermelon- 1 cup, deseeded and diced
- Orange- 1 half, peeled and cut into rounds
- Apple- 1 half, cut into rounds
- Grapes- 1/4 cup
- Kiwi fruit- 1, diced
- Ginger- 1 tsp, julienne
- Green chilli- 1 small, roughly chopped
- Caster sugar- to sprinkle
- Lemon juice- 1 to 2 tsp
- Coriander leaves/ mint- to garnish
Mix together the ginger, chilli, sugar and lemon juice. Gently squash the mix
with your hands, enough to get the chilli and ginger flavours infused. Add a bit
of salt if required.
Arrange the fruits in a platter (or in a bowl) and pour over the
dressing.
Garnish with some mint or coriander leaves.
Gently mix before serving.
