fruit cocktail recipe | fresh fruit cocktails for summer | fruit salad with detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting healthy fruit salad recipe made with a choice of fruits and creamy yogurt. it is a unique alternative to the same monotonous wheat bix or perhaps for corn flakes with fruit and milk. it is a healthy and filling recipe which provides all the health benefits and nutrients and thus making a complete meal.
i have shared quite a few salads or raita recipes till now in my blog, but this recipe is very unique. basically, i have used the yoghurt and cream combine to make a liquid cocktail. and this mixture is used to layer and separate the different types of fruit. perhaps the first assumption, when you hear about the cocktail or salad, is that every ingredient is mixed thoroughly. but in this recipe i have layered it separately and is mixed only when it is consumed. in addition, the best part of this recipe is the audience. it is appreciated by a wide audience including the kids. hence it is an ideal recipe who hates having direct fruits and this can be a very good alternative.
anyway, some other variations, tips, suggestions for this creamy and flavoured fruit cocktail recipe. firstly, the choice of fruits is completely open-ended and you can choose as per your preference. having said that try to group it in such a way that it ends up in bright coloured dessert. ideally, any bright and attractive coloured dish should attract any kids. secondly, assemble the fruit layering when it is about to be served. it may turn soggy and may lose its shape when it is mixed with yoghurt cream. lastly, try to use thick and whisked curd for this recipe. particularly fresh curd as the stale may end up having a sour taste.
