I was so excited when I harvested these sapodillas (sapota in Tamil and cheeku in Hindi) from our tree. I wanted to use it in my recipe, so I did this fruit and nut salad and added the sapodilla with the skin as it is rich in fiber and also I know that I did not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.I used only
compost from my kitchen waste. This fruit and nut salad is full of colors and is packed with nutrients. Remember I had written about the
rainbow diet in my last salad recipe and had written that you must include lot of colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet to lead a healthy life. I do not prefer adding oil or cream to my salads. So here is my way of preparing Fruits and Nut Salad .
