Directions
African Fruit Salad,ZWT7, Africa. “A wide variety of tropical fruits, both native and non-native, are cultivated in Africa. In Western Africa, the closest thing to a dessert course is the “after-chop” and a popular “after-chop” is fruit salad. In Eastern Africa, Swahili people make a Saladi ya Matunda for dessert (See note at bottom of recipe). One interesting thing about the African fruit salad is the use of the avocado. A perfectly fine fruit salad can be made from just three or four of the ingredients listed below. A fruit salad makes a fine dessert course for an African-style dinner.” Modified from, love fresh fruit for dessert and this fruit salad was delightful. I drizzled with a little honey for sweetness and topped with toasted coconut and peanuts. Thanks.,Delightful and refreshing fruit salad. I didn’t feel it needed any sweetening. I did add a bit of fruit juice to the mixture. I also put both coconut and peanuts on the table so that people could choose their own garnish. Made for ZWT7
