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...)
