 Fresh fruits
which are packed with antioxidants are tossed together to create a refreshing and healthy dessert. This diet dessert recipe also improves heart health as pineapple contains a substance called bromelain, which has
been shown to reduce blood pressure effectively and help prevent heart disease.
Ingredients :
Serves 4
-
2 oranges
-
2 large passion fruit
-
1 pineapple
-
1 pomegranate
-
1 banana
Method :
-
Cut 1 orange in half and squeeze the
juice into a bowl, discarding any pips. Using a sharp knife, cut away
all the peel and pith from the second orange. Working over the bowl to
catch the juice, carefully cut the orange segments between the
membranes to obtain skinless segments of fruit. Discard any pips.
-
Cut the passion fruit in half, scoop the
flesh into a nylon strainer and, using a spoon, push the pulp and juice
into the bowl of orange segments. Discard the pips.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut away all the
skin from the pineapple and cut the flesh lengthwise into quarters. Cut
away the central hard core. Cut the flesh into chunks and add to the
orange and passion fruit mixture. Cover and let chill the fruit at this
stage if you are not serving at once.
-
Cut the pomegranate into quarters and,
using your fingers or a teaspoon, remove the red seeds from the
membrane. Cover and let chill until ready to serve — do not add too
early to the fruit cocktail because the seeds discolor the other fruit.
-
Just before serving, peel and slice the
banana, add to the fruit cocktail with the pomegranate seeds, and mix
thoroughly. Serve at once.
