Good Food Friday Treats :: Fruit Salad with Coconut Dressing



Summer fruits are in full swing and I must say I am a massive fan. This time of year the fruit is so wonderful and delicious - my fridge is overflowing with produce. In fact, I had to get a new fridge. The fruit and veg section of the old one collapsed! That's how much I pack in there!

This recipe isn't any ordinary fruit salad. It has a dressing on it which is absolutely delicious. It contains coconut milk which has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is as a remarkable medicinal food used to treat a host of issues including mouth ulcers and works equally well the on gastrointestinal tract to treat any types of ulceration.

This is good enough to add to the table at your next dinner party - your guests will walk away happy and most of all with a healthy belly full!

Fruit Salad with Coconut Dressing

2 blood oranges (orange oranges would be ok too)
1 pineapple
2 kiwi fruit
1 apple
1 banana
175ml unsweetened coconut milk
1 tbsp honey
juice of 1 lemon
seeds from 1 pomegranate
1 tbsp chopped mint

Peel and slice the oranges, pineapple, apple, banana & kiwi fruit and put into a large bowl.

Lastly, place pomegranate seeds and mint on top before serving.

  3. From pomegranates - they are the part of the pomegranate that you eat.
