SLC25-W6 // "Fruit Salad

Greetings and welcome to my blog. I am to participate in this weeks challenge again on fruit salad. I have knack for salads and I am a salad lover. So hence my commitment to this challenge. This week I present my task on fruit salad.

Make a "Fruit Salad": contain at least three different fruits of your choice and a dressing.

So I prepare my choice salad with four types of fruits I like. The ingredients includes;

• Apple
• Carrot
• Cucumber
• water melon

Dressing

• Condensed milk

Procedure

I washed my fruits with clean water and placed them in a clean bowl.

I sliced the apples into small sizes and kept them aside.

I also sliced my water melon into cubes and kept aside.

I sliced the cucumbers into cubes and also kept aside.

I then sliced the carrots into cubes and kept aside.

I then mixed all these fruits together in a bowl.

I didn’t see whipped cream here so I had to use my condensed milk dressing to top up the fruits salad.

I added the condensed milk on the fruits after mixing them all together and my fruit salad was ready to be served.

Include a handwritten identification sign next to your Fruit Salad, containing your username, date, and the hashtag #saladss25w6.

Which fruit was your favorite among those you included in the salad? Did you like the resulting flavor combination? What health benefits do you think your fruit salad provides?

The fruit said was delicious to eat and I totally enjoyed it. My favourite fruit amongst all the fruit is apple. I love the apple because of its sweet and crunchy taste and the tangy taste it also added to the entire salad. I love the resulting combination that the fruits I used gave to me.

The fruit salad I prepared provides so many health benefits such as;

• Richness in vitamins and minerals: These fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals. Carrots contains beta-carotene and vitamin A and it’s good for the eyes and boosts our immune system. Apples gives us vitamin C and a good source of fiber. Watermelon is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants which helps to protect the cells from oxidation. Cucumbers helps in hydration and also provided vitamin K.

• They helps the body in hydration as water melon and cucumbers contain high water quantities.

• ⁠These fruits contains anti-oxidants that acts as protection to our cells against damages.

• ⁠The fibers contained in these fruits helps to improve digestion and digestive health.

The carrot added extra crunchiness to the salad and the cucumber added a little sour touch while the water melon balanced out the sweetness. The total combo was delightful.
