Fruit Salad

Weekend and it’s time to clean-up some cans in our cupboard. I’ve found cans of fruit cocktail and cream that were supposed to be our New Year’s dessert, but since one of my cousins volunteered to bring fruit salad, I just kept my ingredients for future use. And that future then is now =D.

This very easy salad is always present during Christmas and New Year to almost all Filipino tables. But for my husband’s cravings, he won’t wait for next occasion to have this salad.

i love it with strips of fresh buko, but for this recipe, I just made used of the available ingredients I have in our cupboard and fridge.

Festival of Abu Dhabi Grown Vegetables and Fruits

The “Festival of Abu Dhabi Grown Vegetables and Fruits” which opened at Al Khalidiya Mall in cooperation with Lulu Hypermarket, showcased carts of locally farm-produced fruits and vegetable which promotes good harvest from the region. Since UAE country is covered by sands and has extreme weather, it is quite difficult to cultivate fruits and vegetables. But because of continuous support from the government as well as to the extended efforts from local farmers, a bountiful harvest has been made possible.

The festival also greatly emphasized on promoting “Organic Produce” grown in Abu Dhabi, which serves for the best interest of health-conscious shoppers in the capital.

 Here are some snapshots from the healthy and colourful festival.
