Main Ingredients- 12 Shine Muscat grapes
- 1/2 Apple
- 1 Banana
- 1 Mandarin orange (Tangerine)
- 1 handful Macadamia nuts (approx. 20g)
- 1 handful Cashew nuts (approx. 20g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh Shine Muscat grapes thoroughly under running water, remove the stems, and pat them dry. Leave them whole to preserve their plump texture.
Step 2
Peel the fresh apple after washing it. Dice it into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5cm cubes) suitable for a mayonnaise salad. Remove the core. This will add a delightful texture.
Step 3
Peel the ripe banana and slice it into thick, generous pieces, about 1cm thick. Be careful not to slice them too thinly, as they might break apart.
Step 4
Peel the mandarin orange and separate the segments. These will look beautiful when added to the other fruits and provide a refreshing citrus note.
Step 5
Add the macadamia nuts for a nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch. Place them in the bowl with the prepared fruits.
Step 6
Add a handful of cashew nuts for their creamy texture and mild flavor. You can also lightly crush the nuts before adding them.
Step 7
Sprinkle 0.5 tablespoon of sugar over the fruits to enhance their natural sweetness. Feel free to add more if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Step 8
Add 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the key to a creamy and smooth dressing. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise according to your preference.
Step 9
Now, gently mix all the ingredients and dressing together using a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to mash the fruits. Ensure the mayonnaise evenly coats all the ingredients.
Step 10
Voila! Your delicious and refreshing retro fruit salad is complete. It tastes even better when chilled. This is a perfect simple dessert or side dish!
