Fresh Fruit Salad

A simple and healthy fruit salad. We usually prepare salads on weekends and enjoy it for 2- 3 days. My hubby who loves fruits is always ready to help me in cutting them....:-)

Fruits I used are
Papaya, Apple, Orange, Banana, Grapes, Sapota/Chickoo, Pomogranate
Honey - 2 -3 tspns

Sugar - 1 tspn(Optional)

Method
Wash and chop all fruits into small pieces.
In a wide bowl put all the fruits, add honey, mix well and chill it in fridge for 1 hour or more.

Serve it with ice cream or as it is.

This recipe along with Kosambari and Green Gram and Pomo Salad is going off to Divya's Show me your Salad Event.

Happy Weekend. Will be back with my CFK-PFE Roundup.
