Notes
- This fruit salad is delicious all by itself, but you can certainly use it to dress up other sweet dishes.
- It pairs wonderfully with pancakes, crepes, waffles and even French toast or Nutella toast.
- Use fresh, ripe and sweet-tasting fruits only. Do not use under-ripe fruits as they can wreak havoc on your gut. Try to include as many different colours of fruits as possible, as each colour is associated with different, specific nutrients.
- Fruits should ideally not be eaten after a meal. It is always better to have fruit at least 30 minutes to an hour before the meal.
