Feeding healthy, is very hard ,to your kids..specially if it is fruit...you have to go to a strange length,spin weird stories.. even after that, may be, they will fancy one or two. At present mine has taken shine to kiwi, orange and grapes and if...if her mood is OK she pick through some strawberries!! But I am no good at stories so I have to try extra hard...So when I was searching for something to go with my aloo paratha, other than raita and achar, I came to see this healthy but,thank God,tasty and quiet frankly easy and snacking way to feed fruits to my kids,in the BBC Good Food web page. And it mentioned including kiwi in it!!May be after reading the recipe section you will think "that's it..nothing more..!!why share this recipe!!" But trust me after making it..it was so tasty, we all were on our third ,fourth helping in no time...Come to think of that ,the salad/salsa was more hit than the paratha!! The same thing happened on the BBQ day also...it was so hit that got a request for making it on another occasion from a guest of ours!! May be you will think..."what an odd girl, bragging over a mere fruit salad!!" But I say to you it is not bragging,,,it is that tasty,go and make it and see or rather taste it for yourself...So here goes the recipe....
Ingredients:
Choice of your kids fav fruits diced in small pieces, I used kiwi, strawberry, peaches,a mixture of green and red apple, cherry tomato..frankly your choice, 1 big bowl
Finely Chopped Onion: 1/2 cup
Sweet Chilli Sauce : 2 tsp
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2tbsp
Chilli :1 chopped, if you want more heat.
Salt and Black Pepper: to taste, I didn't use it as the the sauce was quite salty
Lemon Juice: 1tbsp, optional
Method:
In a bowls mix oil, sauce , chilli and lemon juice, if using. Add the fruits to the mixture add salt and pepper, if using and give it a toss...done...nothing to it...
