Fruity

Even Louie knows to get his 5 a day

My contribution to the birthday bash tomorrow is a fruit salad. But, it is winter time. So, no lovely tumble of berries. I made a winter fruit salad.

I have chopped up several kiwis and a pineapple. (The easy way to peel a kiwi is to slice off both ends, then wedge a soup spoon under the skin on one of the broad sides, and rotate the spoon around until you can slip the fruit, whole, from the skin.) I also have supremed a couple grapefruits and several oranges and tangerines. (To create jewel like wisps of citrus fruit supremes, slice off the ends of the fruit, and then peel the skin and pith off by running your knife down the edge, following the contour, of the fruit. Then, run the knife between the "lines" and free just the juicy fruit. . . discarding any seeds and then squeezing the juices from the spent fruit.)

I have also added in pomegranate seeds because I wanted the sweetness and contrasting color.

The salad sports bright green, pink, pale yellow, bright orange, and ruby red. I'm debating drizzling a bit of Cointreau over the whole thing. Perhaps a sprinkling of sugar.
