This recipe was supplied by a co-worker after a holiday office get-together we had.

—–

Squeeze the juice of 1 orange into a large bowl.
Peel 1 orange and separate into sections. Dice the sections and add to the bowl and stir.

Decore and dice 1 apple; add diced apple to bowl and stir.

Decore and dice 1 pear; add to bowl and stir.

Peel and dice 1 banana; add to bowl and stir.

Add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup of raisins or Craisins and stir.

Serves 4.

Add remnants to your compost, if you have one.

You can add more fruit or less to the salad to suit your taste. Some people, for example, will add another apple or banana in order to serve 5.

The fruit salad goes good over cheese cake or plain cake or with ice cream. I like mine with Irish whisky. Serve the whisky on the side.

For variety, add strawberries, blueberries, sliced grapes or other fruits. Use fresh fruits. Whisky is good fresh too, but will keep indefinitely.

If you like, use canned fruits. Save a lot of time by making the salad from canned fruits, and the salad will keep longer, too, but canned fruits have preservatives and sugar added. The recipe above uses only fresh fruits, so only it has only the natural sugars and no preservatives. Irish whisky comes in glass bottles, is good any time, but you probably won’t be able to keep it very long.

I have a friend who will have fruit salad and whisky in the evening. It takes him all night and he still doesn’t finish the fruit salad.

If you want to save time, put all the fruit into your compost and just drink the whisky. It’s even quicker to not even bother with the fruit.
