Easy Vegetable Fruit Salad Recipe.

Hi, we are almost mid January, time is flying so fast.

During the weekend I made a salad that was really easy and I thought I would share the recipe with you guys.

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

•    2 medium sized carrots
• 1 tomato
• 1 peach
• 1 banana(not shown in the photo)

Method

• clean the ingredients thoroughly in water mixed with some vinegar. Then rinse in cold water.
• grate the carrots(I prefer mine grated but you can slice them into cubes if you want them that way)

 

• cube the tomato

 

• cut the peach into nice cubes, mine is messy the peach was over ripe.

 

• slice the banana  as shown or how you prefer them.

 

• mix all the ingredients in a bowl and enjoy.

 

if you get to make this salad let me know how it turns out.

NB I didnt clean my chopping board since I was going mix everything together any way:)

xoxo,
Anne.
