MIXED FRUIT SALSA

I prepared it for myself and loved it immensely. I did not have any kind of chips with it, it is for the others. As a healthy lunch or as an appetiser, it is a delight either way. Just back from a trip from my hometown, I need to shed few kilos. It is not a magic, we need to work hard on it. This urge takes me on a wonderful tour of so many healthy recipes posted by the talented chefs. I have come across good recipes of salads and salsas. What I do not prefer is using the store bought salad dressings. What I love about salsa is that it can be done simply and we can bring innovations in it. The mix and match option works here well. Today, I prepared a mixed fruit salsa as I had some fruits in stock. Everything has a shelf life. We better  use them up wisely and in time. The fruits I used here are pomegranate, orange, apple, cucumber. It was fun doing it in minutes.

INGREDIENTS :

Orange : 1small
Pomegranate : 1/2small cup
Apple : 1small
Cucumber : 1medium[i used the crunchy Japanese one]
Coriander Leaves :1tbsp[chopped]
Green Chilli : 1[chopped]
Onion : 1small[chopped]
Lemon Zest : 1/2tsp
Lemon Juice : 1tbsp
Salt : A pinch
Sugar : 1/4tsp

METHOD :

Wash all of the fruits. Peel the orange and cut into small pieces, discard the seeds. Cut the other fruits into small pieces. Peel and extract the pomegranate seeds.

Peel, wash and chop the onion. Wash and chop the coriander leaves and green chillies.

Prepare 1 tea spoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice from a medium sized lemon.

Take everything in a serving bowl and toss well. A little of tamarind juice should also do justice.

 

It is to be had fresh whether we serve it with chips or have it just like that. It is quite filling.
