This past summer I wanted something different for our annual family Father's Day BBQ. Something refreshing as a side dish, but not typical boring green salad. So, I came up with a yummy combination of the two....a fruit salad that is more of a side dish than a dessert.
Ingredients:
2 Pears Sliced
2 Apples Sliced
2 Peaches Sliced
2 Stalks of Celery cut into small pieces
1 C. Diced Jicama
1/4 C. Fresh Mint leaves roughly chopped
Juice of 2 limes
1 T Olive Oil
1/4 C. Honey
Pinch of salt and pepper
Add the apples, pears, peaches, celery and Jicama to a large bowl. Mix lime juice, olive oil, honey, mint, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Pour dressing mixture over fruit and celery. Toss it all together to coat. Serve immediately or chill until ready.
Delicious, these days I am on diet food and this is perfect for me. Thank you for sharing recipe, going to share it with my wife.
ReplyDeletewould kiwi be good in this salad?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried kiwi. I would think kiwi might get broken up when tossed but if you add it at the end it would certainly look super pretty and be delicious.
