The Exotic fruit salad Recipe is a lovely refreshing fruit salad and any left over is a real treat for breakfast the next day. Serve on its own or with cream.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1⁄2 large cantaloupe melon
1 large mango, stone removed and flesh cut into cubes
3 passion fruit
3 oranges
1 grapefruit
8oz (225g) black
seedless grapes
1⁄4 cup Cointreau or Grand Marnier (optional)
Method:
1 Scoop the seeds from the melon and discard. Using a sharp knife, cut into wedges and remove the skin. Slice the flesh into 1in (2.5cm) chunks and put into a serving bowl with the mango cubes.
2 Slice the passion fruit in half and scoop the seeds into the bowl.
3 Remove the skin from the oranges and grapefruit(s) and cut the flesh into segments, making sure you catch the juices. Add to the bowl.
4 Slice the grapes in half and add to the bowl.
5 Add the Cointreau or Grand Marnier, if using, and mix lightly together, then chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
OTHER FRUITS TO USE
Raspberries and strawberries are good in a fruit salad, but add them at the last minute or they will bleed into the other fruits and turn mushy. Bananas go soft after a while, too. Avoid apples, pears, and peaches, as they discolor.
PREPARE AHEAD
The salad can be made up to 12 hours ahead. Not suitable for freezing.
