Scrumptious Diced Fruit Salad

Now don't get mislead. They are not your average fruit salad for dessert. This is only one variation of salad using raw mango ideal for Barbecue dishes to break down fatty components of the meat that need to be burn down in your system.

Here are my Ingredients:

1 piece of raw mango

1 red truss tomato

1 Granny Smith Apple

1/2 cup of mixed marinated Kalamata olives and stuffed olives.

Method:

Peel the fruits, core, dice and place together in a bowl. Add the marinated mixed olives (I bought from a Deli shop)and mixed well. Garnish with parsley or anything that you may fancy of decorating.

Serve with newly cooked barbecue (meat of your choice).

Helps to digest the fat. You may add red and green capsicum.
