i never really liked fruit salad. my mom would have it for breakfast every morning, it always made me more hungry. but once i got used to its lack of starch like oatmeal, i enjoyed it. now i eat it for breakfast, sometimes for dinner or a snack too! mmmm. bananas, apples, nectarines, dates, coconut, raw agave and raw cocao.
I LOVE putting agave in my fruit salad, it just bumps up the sweetness even more. mmmm! its kind of like a salad dressing, but for fruit salad.
mmmm
We love fruit salad at our house too. We often have that as the center of a meal and add other stuff like sandwiches or muffins.
the fruit salad at the fancy french place i was working as a chef at had a secret to make it super yummy.. they would coat it in vanilla syrup.. if you cant get vanilla syrup just throw in a little vanilla extract and sweetener.. it instantly makes any fruit salad even better than it is to begin with :)
oh yum!!! that does sound really good. actually. i wonder if there is such a thing as cocount syrup. OOOO!!! i just love coconut. i'm gonna look at whole foods, what a good idea.
oh yeah there is syrup for like every flavor.. i also really like raspberry.. and raspberry syrup is also really good in lemon lime soda or lemonade.. mmm.. but yeah coconut syrup sounds soo good.. but i love coconut anything hehe
I just made a nice fruit salad with papaya, oranges, bananas, pears, strawberries and a handful of raisins.
It's so pretty, Isabella!! ;)b
My mom always made our fruit salads with a splash of orange juice or pineapple juice, mainly to keep it from browning. The fruit soaks up all the juice and it's SO yummy.
Today I made a fruit salad for lunch with a sprinkling of coconut shavings on top and some pineapple juice. Yum.
