Have some fruit salad for breakfast this morning...a cool, refreshing change from cereal on a bright summer's morning!

- I have peaches in my fruit salad because they are ripe and because I have a lot of them.

I love apples on my fruit salad. Yum. Chilled and served with magnolia cream.-
What is magnolia cream?
I love apples...since childhood, they have been my favourite fruit. But over the last few years I have been more and more intolerant of them, and now cannot eat raw apples or drink apple juice. Cooked apples...like applesauce or apple pies...are OK.
I miss fresh apples...I'm originally from Oregon and there are SO many delicious varieties of apples there that you never see in the supermarkets...like Early Transparents. Yum! I miss my fresh apples! -
Magnolia cream is a shelf stable cream. This processed cream gives good results for all types of uses including whipping and cooking. To find a fresh cream that is suitable for all uses you will need to look for a heavy cream, that is one with at least 30-35% fat content. A high fat content is needed in fresh cream to stablise the foam in whipping and to prevent curdling on heating. -
I sometimes eat magnolia cream by itself and I know I shouldn't do that.Kiwi fruit is also yummy. We have a store here that has 'make your own salad'. You pic the fuits of your choice and they put cream on it. I always have mine filled a lot with cocunut flesh,grapes,apples and if strawberry is available I put a LOT on it so that my salad looks really red.

it's just a brand of cream salad. i like it because it's cremier. have you tasted chinese apples? they're green and delicious but yes it doesn't do for all.
-
Oh Chinese apples sounds wonderful!
I love fruit salads! Sometimes its more with everyday fruit like apples, banana, kiwi, orange. Other times with different types of melon, strawberries, mango. yeah I love fruit ^_^!! -
No, I haven't tried Chinese apples. They sound good, though.
This is a simple salad...only 4 fruits and some yoghurt, but it's juicy, crisp, cool and tasty. Perfect for summer.

Coconut salad strip can be a good combination with any type of fruit.
-
Oh I like coconut too!! How could I even forget that!
-
-
I agree. It goes with anything
-
I think I know why u seem to like it too
-
tell me *fidgets on the keyboard*. Make sure it is wholesome
-
Your beautiful country is the world's second largest producer of coconut products ei!
-
-
Oh that! *takes a long deep breath* Yes it is true. We have it everywhere. I see you have been doing your research. We also have sugar cane. But that's another story.

I've been there, Olongapo, Subic, Makati, Boracay.

Oh wow. have you been to Cebu and Negros Occidental?

Another great looking dish, SV. I love fruit salad.
Do you ever make gazpacho? I have a pretty good recipe but I love it so much I am always looking for new ones. It's such a great summer soup.-
@melinda can you expand on the gazpacho?
@Feedyourwallet. oh that's nice to hear. if you ever pass by give me a holler ok? -
I haven't done a gazpacho...nobody in my family likes cold soup!
-
@melinda
- I have a thread with recipes summer soups and all of them can be served either cold or hot.
Here's the link www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/summer-soup-recipes -
@Timethief! I will do a search for your thread. Do you have gazpacho on it? I LOVE gazpacho.
-
- I don't think we included a gazpaco recipe in that thread. I'm working in the studio so I don't have time to check. Sorry
I did post the link above though.
If you are into pumpkin soup as well there's another thread on it here www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/favorite-pumpkin-soup-recipes -
That's okay, TT--there's some wonderful soups on here. I will try some of them--but gazpacho is my very favorite summer soup (at least that I have tried).
Interesting--I posted about gazpacho in that thread last summer! -
-I posted about gazpacho in that thread last summer!
- Really? lol
-
-
Nope, just the places that I mentioned and the ones in between. I’m looking forward to coming back though.
-
For hot summer days I like fruit salad...nice, juicy chunks of cold, sweet pineapple, kiwi, fresh berries, slices of banana...it is soooooo good!
-
- So do I. I also add honeydew melon or cantaloupe ... mmmm
-
Oh, honeydew would be a nice addition!
