Fresh Fruits For Friday

Today I am not sharing the fish recipe for Friday or other recipes. Today is fruits day.  We need our daily fruit, but there is a day on which we like to indulge ourselves in having great fruits.

It is mixed fresh fruits with spiced palm/coconut sugar dressing, a fruit salad Javanese style, called rujak or lots.  A mouthwatering fruit salad for warmer weather.
I use mainly any fresh fruits, but tropical fruits are preferable.  I am making rujak out of fruits that I have, fresh pineapple, semi-ripe mango (ideally), orange ( instead of pomelo), benkoang (you could get it from the market), cucumbers and apples.

Fine Sliced Mixed Fruits For the Rujak

The dressing:
2 tablespoons grated palm sugar
1 tablespoon tamarind juice
Juice of a half lemon
1 chilli, chopped
salt to taste.
These quantities are an approximation only
( I don't have a particular recipe )

The ingredients for the dressing: palm sugar, tamarind juice, lemon and chilli

Fresh fruits are always here in Australia, the tropical fruits are readily available in the Asian grocery stores or Supermarket.  We can have the fruits at any time, aren't we all so fortunate.  Anyway fresh fruits are good for us; however you have to know your limit.  But you could indulge the fresh fruit on Friday sometimes.  Fantastic!!!



Have a Relaxed Weekend
