It's official that winter can be quite depressing, especially the cloudy days. Personally, having grown up in a tropical country, I love sunshine..who doesn't, huh? After moving here, whenever I miss Mr. Sun showing up, I prepare and cook something that's bright and inviting..that's my way of having a ray of sunshine in life :)
That's how this recipe came about - my sunshine salad with all the bright colored fruits in them. It's quite simple, healthy and quick to make.
Oranges - 2 (I had seedless oranges and hence segmented them)
Apple - 1
Golden raspberries - 12
Blackberries - 8
Dried cranberries - 12 to 14
The only time-consuming task in this is segmenting the oranges (which took only about 3 minutes) and cutting the apple (just 1 minute). Put all the fruits together in a bowl and I squeezed the juice out of the leftover oranges on top of the salad. Did I mention this amount makes for 2? There is no need to add any sugar or sweetener since the apple and cranberries are sweet. I love the sweet and sour taste of the oranges, raspberries and blackberries. If you really need, then you can add some honey (but these fruits were perfect for our tastes and perfectly ripe fruits don't need much dressing!). Enjoy!
