Sweet and Tangy Fruit Salad Recipe

Some info before the recipe :)

A fruit salad is one of the best alternatives for fattening desserts. I am not providing you with a completely sugar-free alternative here, but it is still much better than consuming a big serving of ice-cream or a slice of cake. You get fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from this refreshing treat

This is one of the simplest and most commonly made fruit salads. But I have added some interesting variations to fuse a tangy flavour with the sweetness of the salad. Plus, it's also very syrupy. Hope you like it :).

Before I go on to the recipe, I would like to tell you that bananas (one of the key ingredients) are not fattening. In fact, they speed up your metabolism which is a process by which your body actually burns fats. Also, their high fibre content ensures that you feel full and do not keep on munching :).

Sweet and Tangy Fruit Salad

 The ingredients below will make 4-5 small servings.

Ingredients:

• Bananas ..................................................... 4 medium sized
• Apple ......................................................... 1 large
• Sugar .......................................................... 2 serving spoons
• black pepper ............................................... 1/4th tsp
• juice of one large lemon
• vinegar (for extra tanginess) .......................... 1 Tbs
• Orange flavoured Tang .................................. 2 tsp dissolved in 1/4th glass of water
•  Juice of one tangerine (optional/ according to season and availability)
• Kiwi fruit, or grapes or pineapple chunks for garnish

TIP: if you want to decresase the amount of sugar, add more bananas. Their sweetness will be a good substitute for sugar. 

How to Make

• Cut the fruits and mix them together in a bowl.
• Mix sugar, black pepper, lemon juice, tangerine juice and vinegar with the fruits.
• Dissolve 2 tsp of orange tang in 1/4 cup of water to prepare a concentrated orange drink. Drizzle it over the fruits and mix well.
• Finally take out the salad in a serving dish and garnish with your favourite fruit.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour and serve chilled.
