Fruit salad - tasty vitamin dessert

From the history of cooking it follows that the first salads were invented by the Romans for their feasts, which included, among others, dishes from vegetables and herbs, dressed with vinegar and honey.

But when the first fruit salad appeared, the story is modestly silent. Most likely this happened during the times of our grandparents Adam and Eve, who tasted the forbidden fruit.

Fruit salad is a mixture of a variety of fresh fruits, crushed into small pieces. Usually served chilled as a dessert, crowning any meal, whether it's a dinner party or a romantic dinner. And what an amazing treat for children! What can be tastier and more useful, because fruits are vitamins in kind, which give us vitality!

Today, the fruit salad on our table includes not only the fruits that grow in our region, but also the already exotic fruits that have become habitual : oranges, kiwi, bananas, pineapple, etc. The composition of the ingredients may vary depending on the season and taking into account the compatibility of the fruits. To prepare a salad any hostess needs only to include imagination and an unusual fruit "composition" will be born.
