Serve a Fruit Salad with a Little Sass
If you want to impress your guests or need a dish to pass think outside the fruit bowel. Fruit salads are a healthy side dish and can complement almost any main course or double as dessert! Turn your boring old sliced up fruit into a dazzling display of culinary genius.
Fruit skewers – who needs bowels and forks? It’s a lot of fuss for something so simple. Load up wooden skewers with berries, sliced melon, grapes and more for a rainbow of taste.
Fruit parfaits – If you’re getting classy, load up fancy glasses and layer with Greek yogurt for an individual touch. Make before hand for a no-fuss get together.
Fruit Cone – For a fruit salad that eats more like dessert, fill up waffle cones with your mixture. So good, they’ll eat the bowl! Clean eating waffle cone recipe right here, http://simplysugarandglutenfree.com/waffle-cones/
Monocromatic Fruit – go all one color for shock and awe. All reds, all oranges, or even all green. Or mix just two colors together to add some aesthetic.
Fruit on the Barbie – big slices of fruit grilled for just a short amount of time give a different texture and an increased sweetness that might surprise you.
Go ahead, be a square – Cube everything and stack them up for a fun display. Play with your shapes and use a baller to make spheres or get creative with cookie cutters to surprise the kids.
Add non-fruits to your fruit – Fruit salads aren’t judgmental, most fruit plays well with certain vegetables like tomatoes, avocado, and cucumber. Fresh herbs like mint, basil, parsley and rosemary are also welcomed. Try tossing your fruit with a little quinoa to make more than just a salad, that’s a meal that will stick with you for a while!
