Fruit and Nut Salad Recipe-Indian Salad Recipes

by 19 Comments

I was so excited when I harvested these sapodillas (sapota in Tamil and cheeku in Hindi) from our tree. I wanted to use it in my recipe, so I did this fruit and nut salad and added the sapodilla with the skin as it is rich in fiber and also I know that I did not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.I used only compost from my kitchen waste. This fruit and nut salad is full of colors and is packed with nutrients. Remember I had written about the rainbow diet in my last salad recipe and had written that you must include lot of colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet to lead a healthy life. I do not prefer adding oil or cream to my salads. So here is my way of preparing Fruits and Nut Salad .

I had this whole bowl of salad as snacks yesterday evening and did not feel like eating dinner. It kept me so full. Enjoy preparing this salad and pave way to better health.

Note – You can add sprouts to make it more nutritious. Learn how to sprout beans at home.

You can also add few paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes if preferred but that will become too heavy. Learn how to make paneer.
