Alright, alright. I know. Fruit? The men are saying, “What the heck is this stuff on my plate?” However boys, all’s fair in love and football.
Football season coincides with holiday season. While this may a be a food dream for some, it is a jeans nightmare for others. So I created this little accompaniment to go along with all that meat. And cheese. And salt.
Bananas, apples, and strawberries. Lime juice. Sugar. That’s it! I love, love, love the way that bananas deconstruct and become a little gooey mixed with citrus juice and the juices from the other fruits. Lime or lemon juice also keeps the apples and bananas from oxidizing (turning brown and becoming gross) and adds a punch of vitamin C. I personally like lime juice because it’s different and fun.
This is a real fruit salad. None of that crazy jello/whipped cream add in stuff. Feel free to mix and match your fruits. I also may or may not have used Splenda (but I’ll never tell).
