Fruit Salad

Fresh fruit is colorful & nutritious. Fruit salad made from fresh fruit is light, sweet and healthy!! Fruit salad is very simple to make and is an absolute treat for all fruit lovers! 


It is a good evening snack for kids and best way to sneak in their not-so-favorite fruits along with the other fruits that they like. Use this recipe just as a guide and feel free to substitute fruits/nuts that you might like.


Ingredients
Banana - 1/2 (slice them into thin pieces)
Apple - 1/2 (cut into small pieces)
Pear - 1/2 (cut into small pieces)
Cherries - 6 - 8 nos (pitted & cut into halves)
Raisins - 1/6 cup
Chopped nuts - 1 tbsp (pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts)
Honey - 3-4 tbsp
Lime juice - 1 tbsp
Ground flax seed - 1 tsp
Granola & almonds - 1 tbsp

I loved this fruit salad and guess what, my daughter loved it too. What an easy way to get her eat more fruits !!!!


Tips:

  • Raisins can be replaced with dates.
  • You can add as much fruits as you want.
  • Mint leaves can be finely chopped & added for freshness in taste.
  • Serve it with ice cream on top, if you are not so conscious about calories.

  2. The grapefruit tree is covered by thick foliage of thick dull green leaves, develops to a tallness of approx. 20 feet/6 meters and is most likely started from Jamaica. The grapefruit is promptly crossed with different individuals from the citrus sort. It is a low-calorie food, a great wellspring of nutrient C and 'inositol', an individual from the nutrient B complex.
