Fruit salads are very healthy, tasty and light. They are used as a dessert or as a main course. When preparing such salads, it is necessary to take into account some subtleties in the combination of fruits with each other.
All fruits can be roughly divided into several groups. The first of these will be “Sweet Fruits”. This group includes bananas, persimmons, dates, figs, all dried fruits. All sweet fruits go perfectly with each other (for example, bananas with figs), as well as with semi-sour fruits (for example, dates with plums).
The second group "Semi-acid fruits" includes apricots, watermelons, melons, mangoes, apples, pears, cherries, grapes, plums, peaches, etc. In addition, these include berries: blueberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc. They go well with each other (for example, an apple with a plum) and sour fruits (for example, a peach with an orange).
The third group "Sour Fruits" includes almost all citrus fruits: oranges, lemons, tangerines, kiwi, limes, grapefruits. In addition, sour varieties of apples, berries - cranberries, blackberries, currants can also be attributed here. Sour fruits go well with each other in small quantities, but the main thing here is not to overdo it. Best of all, fruits from the third group are combined with semi-acidic counterparts (strawberries with oranges, kiwi with apples, etc.).
It is permissible to combine fruits in salads with nuts, cream, moderately starchy and starchy vegetables, and various herbs. Combining them with other foods causes fermentation in the stomach.
To prepare a delicious and healthy fruit salad, it is not at all necessary to use a wide variety of ingredients, 5-6 items are enough. For example, to make Tenderness salad, take one apple, one orange, two kiwis, one banana, one tablespoon of sugar, and whipped cream. Peel the fruit, cut the apples into small strips, the orange into small slices, the banana and kiwi into slices. Add sugar to the fruit, mix thoroughly, garnish with whipped cream on top.
