The Taste of Happiness

This fruit salad is, I have decided, what happiness tastes like. It's bright and vibrant, sweet and tangy. Kind of like your humble bloggers, right ladies? :-)

So I thought I'd kick off my return from a long hiatus with this recipe, courtesy of Ms. AS (formerly of NOLA, now of NYC). Oh, and it makes me even happier to have used my own-grown fresh mint in making it tonight!



Taste of Happiness Fruit Salad
2 Tb lime juice
1Tb canola oil
1Tb minced shallot
2tsp rice vinegar
1tsp honey
1/4tsp salt
Pinch of cayenne, or to taste
4 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 firm bananas, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-think slices
1/2c diced red bell pepper
2 Tb thinly sliced fresh mint
2Tb chopped cashews, toasted

Whisk lime juice, oli, shallot, vinegar, honey, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl. Add kiwis, bananas, bell pepper and mint; toss to coat. Serve sprinkled with cashews.
