AFRICAN FRUIT SALAD



African Fruit Salad image

ZWT7, Africa. "A wide variety of tropical fruits, both native and non-native, are cultivated in Africa. In Western Africa, the closest thing to a dessert course is the "after-chop" and a popular "after-chop" is fruit salad. In Eastern Africa, Swahili people make a Saladi ya Matunda for dessert (See note at bottom of recipe). One interesting thing about the African fruit salad is the use of the avocado. A perfectly fine fruit salad can be made from just three or four of the ingredients listed below. A fruit salad makes a fine dessert course for an African-style dinner."

Time 12m

Yield 1 fruit salad, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

avocado
banana
guava
mango
melon
papaya
peach
pear
pineapple
1 lemon, juice of
fresh grated coconut or chopped roasted peanuts, to garnish
honey (optional) or sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • If using canned fruits: drain and save the liquid. Peel and remove seeds from the fresh fruit as necessary, cut fruit into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine all fruit in a glass bowl. Add the lemon juice, some of the liquid from the canned fruits or honey/sugar. Stir gently. There should only be enough liquid to coat the fruit; it does not have to be covered in liquid.
  • Cover the fruit salad and allow it to stand at room temperature for a half hour before serving. The fruit salad may be refrigerated after it has stood up to an hour. It should be eaten the same day it is made.
  • Garnish with freshly grated coconut or chopped roasted peanuts right before serving.
  • NOTE: Eastern Africa's Saladi Ya Matunda is made without the lemon juice, coconut or peanuts; it substitutes sugar/honey for the liquid from the canned fruits.

REFRESHING FRESH FRUIT SALAD



Refreshing Fresh Fruit Salad image

This is so simple; it's my favorite fruit salad combination. My grandmother whips this up every holiday and serves it with fresh whipped cream; I like it topped with a sprinkling of granola. So healthy! This is best served about 2 hours after refrigerating. It's good, though, for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but the banana will turn a little soft. (Cooking time is refrigeration, but you can eat it as soon as you prepare it too)

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large orange
1 apple (I like McIntosh or Johnathan)
1 small banana
1 1/2 cups green grapes
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the orange, taking the white pith with it, like you would an apple.
  • Slice into the orange along its sections and place in medium bowl.
  • After slicing the orange, you should be left with a slim middle part of the orange; squeeze the juice from this section into the bowl.
  • Peel and dice the apple into small pieces; immediately place in bowl and coat with orange pieces and orange juice.
  • Peel and dice banana; immediately place in bowl and stir to coat (the orange juice will prevent these 2 fruits from turning brown).
  • Slice grapes in half and add to mixture.
  • Sprinkle with sugar and stir.
  • (**Note,I only add the sugar or Splenda if my orange is a little too tart. If it's a sweet orange, you don't need any sugar).
  • **I add blueberries to this if they're in season.
