More often than not, fruit salads can easily deviate from salad classification to the dessert category: sweet fruit plus sweet dressing equal a sweet dish. Of course many people like it this way, myself included , but sometimes I like starkly contrasting flavors in my fruit salad. Here, salt and garlic add a different dimension to a combination of kiwis and green seedless grapes. What do you think?
Kiwi and Grape Salad
Serves 4
2 cups green seedless grapes
1/4 cup agave nectar/honey
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp grated garlic (one small garlic clove)
1. Peel the kiwis and cut into slices. Cut the grapes into halves. Add both sets of fruit to a large bowl.
2. Warm the agave/honey on the stove top or in the microwave to lossen it up, making it smooth and runny. Whisk in the salt and garlic, and pour over the fresh fruit. Combine.
Very refreshing.

ReplyDeleteYes, the garlic sounds out of place but it works. All it needs is a small hint of garlic.
