Nothing like a fruit salad to clean the palate with freshness. We like to combine fruits that hold themselves over time so it can be stored in the fridge for use over a couple of days to make it great for a quick breakfast, snack or dessert. If not all ingredients are available substitute with other fruit, increase quantity of available fruit, or add your favourites. A handy tip is to add fruit when we are about to eat the fruit salad like banana, which would otherwise go brown over time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon – hulled, diced small
- 2 cups grapes – washed, halved if large
- 1 cup rockmelon – hulled, deseeded, diced small
- 1 cup blueberries – washed
- 3 kiwi fruits – skins removed, diced small
- 1 cup raspberries – washed, halved
- 2 cups strawberries – leaves removed, sliced in quarters
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice – approximately 1 large orange
- 2 passion fruits – pulp and seeds only
Directions
- Prepare the fruit and add into a large serving bowl.
- Squeeze the orange juice and in a container add the pulp and seeds of the passion fruit mixing well.
- Add the juice to the fruit and mix well. Serve or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
