Recipe for kiwi, kaki and orange fruit salad 

Ingredients: one kaki, one kiwi, one orange (or two mandarins), one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Preparation: wash the kaki, and chop it into small cubes. Peel off the orange and the kiwi, then cut them into small pieces as well. Place the fruits in a bowl and pour the fresh lemon juice over them and mix.

You can also opt for a more colorful fruit salad and add different fruits you have around the kitchen, like a banana, or a mango.

Advice: if apples or pears are your choices, remember that they tend to oxidize very quickly. Chop the fruits into cubes, and after you’ve put then in a bowl, pour some water combined with lemon juice to prevent the fruits from changing their color.

Pineapple or pomegranate seeds will make your fruit salad look more festive, especially if you decorate it with small mint leaves.

If you would like your salad to have some extra juice, you could also squeeze some oranges, or add any kind of fresh, natural juice.

Keep in mind that it’s best to make a quantity which will be eaten all at once. Even kept in the refrigerator, cut fruits may change their color, taste as well as their attributes.

A bowl of fruit salad will help your organism stay healthy and protected against colds and germs. A daily portion of fruits will keep you away from doctors and offer a boost of energy!
