Five Spice Fruit Salad


I find eating an apple or a banana or an orange dull, a fruit salad a day keeps the boredom away.

1 Fuji Apple, chopped

1 Banana, sliced lengthwise & chopped

1 Orange, peeled, seperated into sections, then each section sliced into 4 pieces

4T Raw Peanuts, roasted 15 minutes in a non-preheated 450 oven, then quickly cooled and flavored in 1t soy sauce. It will sizzle & steam, keep stirring till soy evaporates.

Let cool off and dry before adding to salad.

Lemon Juice

5-Spice Powder

Put the apple, banana and orange in a bowl, add a pinch or two of the 5-spice powder, then a couple squirts of the lemon juice or to taste, the lemon juice gives it a nice tangy taste and keeps the fruit from darkening.

After you have mixed the flavors together add the cooled off roasted soy sauce peanuts.

Other fruits that you could try: grapes, kiwi, strawberries, mango, melon, pears, pineapple (if you use the canned pineapple in its own juice you would leave out the lemon juice).
