Recipe - Tropical Fruit Salad

Fruits are refreshing and very healthy. They are rich in anti-oxidants. They can be eaten anytime but it is best to eat them in-between meals for the body to fully absorb the nutrients. They also taste better when served chilled.

In this fruit salad, the Thai honey mangoes are mixed with strawberries and blueberries to give a refreshing sweet and tangy mix. You can always pick your favourite fruits and mix them for taste and for colour.

Ripe and plump Thai honey mangoes give the salad a sweet base while a sprinkling of blueberries and strawberries provides a bust of tangy flavour to the mix.

In this salad, I am using 2 portions of mangoes to 1 portion of  berries. It is really up to you.




Ingredients

2 ripe Thai honey mangoes, cut into cubes
1 punnet blueberries (125 gm)
1/2 punnet strawberries (125 gm), cut into bite size

Method

Mix them together in a large bowl and serve.

Alternatively, keep in plastic tubs and keep in the fridge for serving later.
