We've come to an end of season 25 and it has been a long journey of acquiring great knowledge in Salad class through Steemit Learning Challenge. For this week, I've learned about fruit salad, its ingredients and dressing.

I started by washing my fruits properly with a little salt and making sure it is sand free. I sliced each of them to my desired size and shape.
Sliced fruits and nut
In a bowl, I placed the fruits and nut in layers; I started with orange, apple, watermelon, cucumber followed by coconut.

I repeated the same process by layering the fruits and nut in the bowl starting with orange to nut.
After arranging fruits and nut in a bowl
I kept it aside and then began mixing the dressing; the cream was already in a bowl so I proceeded by adding milk then mix thoroughly to have smooth texture and thickness.
I added sufficient quantity of the dressing to my fruit salad and then served it cold.
Question 2: What was your favorite fruit you included in the salad? Did you like the resulting flavor combination? What health benefits do you think your fruit salad provides?
I am lover of fruits but there is always the best/ most preferred out of many. Watermelon and apple are my favorites, this salad would have been incomplete without these two fruits.
Honestly, I really enjoyed the fruit salad, the combination was great although, orange flavor gave me a bit of weird taste ( it's my first time of adding orange, I usually use pineapple).
Adding coconut to my fruit salad was another way of giving it unique and sweet taste. What is fruit salad without nut?!
