1- chop selected fruits about the same size (preferably tiny so that a small spoon can carry about 4 pieces of fruit) .. The fruits I chose yesterday were :
a- Apples (3 medium sized)
b- Banana (2 medium sized)
c- kiwi (3)
d- Strawberry (a whole small plastic box, u know the boxes they sell them in!)
e- Grapes ( as much as u need green into the mix)
f- citrus fruit (not too much if ur gona use a yellow colored juice like I did)
2- After you see the quantity of the chopped fruits fill up about 3/4 of the bawl mix them up & add your favorite kind of juice, my preferred one is mango BUT there are rules for that:
- Since mango is a sweet fruit then use not so sweet fruits (taste them) so you would have a balance in the mixture of flavors.
- focus on adding fruits with colors other than yellow.
3- decoration, I decided this time to make a grape & strawberry flower, By:
cutting a strawberry into slices starting from the middle make sure there is plenty of space in the upper side of the strawberry to holds the cut pieces up, then spread them & make it look like a blooming flower.
Then I placed one grape in the middle & 4 strawberries around it, then here it goes :D my faked water Lilly or a lotus ;p
Finally here it is my Fruit Salad finished
And my pride & joy @!@ the flower in the middle
pity I couldn't get a picture of the bawl in its final place at the dining table BUT I guess u got the picture ;p.

Yummy Yum Yum....looking good QCG,
mashallah 3aleech shawagteeny 3ala fruit salad...bas I have to go to the organic food store to get some good fruits...7ashach eb America their fruits look good bas taste bad...the only good tasting fruits are in the organic stores.
and Don honey you need to take some cooking classes...coz girls love it when their guy cooks something for them...work on it :P
Mmmm that looks quite tasty ! Bel 3afia :)
1. One other tip is to add a bit of lemon juice to the bananas and apples so they don't turn brown
2. I always prefer to use fresh orange juice + frozen mango pulp
3. Adding melons in ball shapes always gives a nice taste
4. Sometimes it makes it tasty to add a sprinkling of nuts (either almonds, or walnuts or pistachios- according to preference or perhaps shredded coconut)
prava it looks good

Thanx dear :D well it had to be especially that am over the guests heads making a serious big ad for my salad ;p
as for the numbers :}
1- I substitute that with the juice I add & try to cut them last BUT it is a usefull tip that i avoide here to not concentrate the cetric flavour in the salad :>.
2- Yep that is also an option & i tried it once with fresh mango & little water added juice :> thick but YUMMY.
3- Amen to that sister :>
4- I do that when I serve juice with some fruits inside i decorate the top with nuts & if there are no ppl on diet some whipped cream BUT never did it with the salad :} next time i will try it for decoration.
:> again thanx :D
