I love fruits and salads and during lockdown, I have been trying to create different types of salads and dressings. My recent discovery is making savory and tangy fruit salads. When I was in India on holiday I tried a fruit chaat which was fruits dressed with a spicy dressing. I immediately fell in love with the idea.
This salad made with fruits is an idea I got from my recent holiday to Turkey. I have used Middle Eastern flavours of paprika, cumin and pomegranate molasses. I love the sharp and tangy flavour of the pomegranate molasses together with the spices in this salad. The salad is delicious served cold.

DeleteOh wow this sounds absolutely delicious! I love fruit salad at this time of year but tend to just have cut up fruit, I have never thought of making it with a dressing.
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this out, thank you x
Adding the dressing just takes it to the next level.
DeleteI love fruit salads and this one looks delicious. Somehow it reminds me of Christmas
ReplyDeleteI think its probably the orange slices.
DeleteOh this sounds just fabulous and I am just loving Basil with everything right now, possibly because I have grown my own and it tastes amazing, but I am yet to try it with fruit!
ReplyDeleteYou should try it with fruit it really is very nice.
DeleteThe addition of basil is very interesting and is certainly something I would love to eat on a warm summers evening :)
ReplyDeleteIt goes well when you have barbecued food.
DeleteNow this sounds like the sort of salad I would like! Who doesn't love things with a bit of flavour going on.
ReplyDeleteThe dressing sounds interesting. We are so used to having fruit salad with cream based dressing, but I really want to try your recipe. I am adding this to our Father's day menu.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fascinating combination of flavours. We love spicy foods but somehow never think of adding them to fruit. The traditional British 'fruit salad' seems very dull in comparison!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. I love a fruit salad but often find they can lack in flavour. This salad sounds like a great way to add that extra flavour.
ReplyDeleteHad to pin this recipe for later, because let me tell you, my favourite type of salads are fruits and veggies combined! I also really like. fruit salads and never tried to spice them up. thanks for this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the look of this fruit salad! Sounds so delicious!
