Salade de Fruits frais
Fresh fruit Salad
Prep'Time : 20 minutes
Cook Time : none
Very easy

Salade de fruits


Ingredients for 8 people :

- 2 apples
- 2 pears
- 2 bananas
- 250 gr [9 oz] strawberries
- 250 gr [9 oz] grape
- 2 kiwis
- 1 pink grapefruit
- 1 orange

- the juice of 2 lemons

You cannot find a lightest dessert...very fresh, this is ideal during the summer...

Those are the fruits we can easily find in France...Of course you can vary many types and add more exotic fruits for example...

Recipe :

1- Wash the apples, pears and grape ; peel the grapefruit and the orange ; wash and hull the strawberries.
2- In a salad bowl, put the grapes, the strawberries cut in halves ; add the kiwis cut in small pieces, small pieces of orange and grapefruit (take the inside skin off if it is too thick). Drizzle with half of the lemon juice and gently mix a bit.
3- Cut the pears and apples in small pieces and add them to the whole ; peel the bananas, cut them in slices and add them too ; gently mix each time you add a fruit so that lemon juice keeps them from turning dark.
4- Refrigerate for one or two hours before serving.

TRICK : even if this dish is cold and could be prepared in advance, it must not be prepared too long ahead because the fruit would not look and taste so fresh.
Of course, put any fruit you would like, the only rule is to balance flavors (some sweet, some sour, some bitter) and to vary colors as much as possible (you need red, green, white, yellow...)
