Summer is here and as I have mentioned earlier several times this is not one of my favourite months. The soaring temperatures and longer days are not for me; but I look forward to the grapes and mangoes that this season offers!
Summer is also the season to enjoy some delicious fruity salads!
This salad was accidentally discovered when I wanted to put together some leftover fruits.
The Green color of the apples (Granny Smith Apples) is very soothing in this heat. All similar coloured fruits and veggies are thrown together in this Salad with a dash of Mint, salt and pepper and some lime if you don’t mind the extra tartness.
Ingredients
- 2 green apples washed and grated (I did not peel them)
- 1 cucumber peeled and grated
- 1/2 mango Raw peeled and grated (adjust the amount depending on the tartness)
- 8 - 10 mint leaves
- to taste salt Black
- Black Peppercorns crushed
- lime juice (optional)
Servings:
Instructions
- Mix the grated Apples, Cucumber and raw Mango.
- Tear and mix the mint leaves.
- Sprinkle the black salt. (I added salt to as soon as the apples were grated)
- Add pepper.
- Add a dash of lime juice. (Depending on the tartness of the mango)
- Mix once again and serve.
Mmm- I can almost taste the tingling spice and tartness of this salad.
Love the combination of flavours you’ve tucked into this my dear! Right up my street! It’s refreshing!! Haven’t seen green apples here for a while.
wow, this is so refreshing..looks so good.
