Willie Gallacher's Journal, 14 Jan 18

I've gotten into the habit of making fruit salad. it's basically a jumble of available fruits that I mix in with yogurt.
Most of the time it turns out delicious, but sometimes it's more of a challenge.
A recent batch included dragon fruit and that was weird. it turned the jogurt pink and, even if it's a pretty bland fruit, changed how the fruit salad tasted.
My latest batch contains, for the first time, soursop. Jury is still out about how much it brings to the flavour party, but it is meant to be a superfood.
Anyway, time to top up the salad with fresh pineapple, melon and mango.
yum yum yum....

Star fruit is one of those I haven’t liked when we’ve gotten it here in the States. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sometimes I wonder how people started eating this stuff in the first place...🤭

TBH I find dragon fruit is all show and it tastes quite bland. but it won't be going in my salad again, unless it's the white variety. Star fruit is delicious, but it needs to be very very ripe. Done eat it until it's yellow all over. cut out the black ridges and slice it thin. yummy

ingredients for salad were. Star fruit, banana, melon, kiwi fruit, mango, grapes, papaya, sours op and yogurt. I love the fruit salad with bran flakes and skimmed milk for breakfast and on its own as a snack. The only problem is that it's full of natural sugars, but I definately get my 5 a day😆😆😆

pineapple, I forgot to mention that in the list. Fiddly to prepare a fresh pineapple, but well worth it. Gosh, I'm getting hungry again. just as well that I'm doing a Sunday brunch today. sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, sausage, egg and baked beans. probably some toast as well, but I do have a ciabatta in the freezer that I could defrost.

Sounds lovely. I tried dragon fruit for the first time in Tenerife last Sept. not for me. Star fruit is very pretty but tasteless to my mind. Pineapple and melon mix is our usual summer salad. Also with grapes or cherries at times. Complete sugar bomb but very refreshing. Have a great day, Willie

I'm thinking of adding durian to the next batch. My only concern is that it might overpower everything, so I might try it with a half batch of salad as a replacement for the soursop
