Fruit Salad

Ingredients Method

1 papaya, ripe but firm The main idea is to use at least 6 kinds of fruit. The
quantity you use does not matter. The usual base fruit is
papaya. Don't add anything except fruits! Halve the
1 melon, ripe, luscious flavour recipe if you like, and remember that leftovers are great
for breakfast!
lychees are delicious in fruit salad
3-4 bananas, firm
Hard fruits like apple are not really suitable.
Grapes can be added, or any other soft fruits. If
6-8 flat peach halves, roughly cut granadillas/passion fruit are unobtainable, leave out, but
up they do lend an exotic flavour. We also use ripe guavas
chopped.

Peel and chop the fresh fruits, but not into small pieces:
5 lychees skin and seed removed they should be roughly a small bite each. If you added
slightly sour fruits (like fresh pineapple) you will have to
add some sugar.
7 cherries seed removed
In a large bowl gently mix the fruits.

6 apricots, fresh, ripe, in quarters Here you have to eyeball the fruit salad and guess how
much juice you want to add. Let's say you decide on 1
1/2 cups. Add the vanilla to the juice.
5 kiwi fruits, peeled and quartered I'm mentioning "juice" because there are fantastic pure
fruit juices available, which can be used instead of the
syrup from cans.
1-2 granadilla / passion fruit pulp Beware fruits like blueberries, which will stain the entire
salad.
2-3 teaspoons vanilla I didn't mention oranges: unless very carefully cleaned
and every scrap of white pith removed, they will
eventually lend a bitter taste to the fruit salad. Berries
Sugar like strawberries can be used, but tend to go soft.
The salad usually stands a few hours or overnight before
serving. And no, it will not last forever because the soft
fruits might go mushy and discolour.
