Preparation

To the beginning preparing my salad I bought all my ingredients needed and washed them thoroughly as it will be eating raw so the fruits has to be thoroughly washed with salt and white vinegar.

As seen, they are all washed.

Next step, I chopped all the ingredients that need to be chopped and arranged them in the plate as seen below 👇

Next I prepared my dressing with cream and condensed milk. First, I added the cream to the the bowl and whisk consistently till it is thick and foamy then I added the condensed milk and orange then continue whisking until the cream is smooth.

Now in a clean bowl, I added the fruits arranging them layers by layers then I added the groundnut. Then finally added my whipped cream to add flavour and taste to my salad.

Giving makes me happy and so I would like to share my fruit salad with @lunasilver the reason I would like to give her this fruit salad is because she usually appreciates my cooking skills and a different recipes of mine.

But then I know that she wouldn't be able to eat and enjoy my recipe very well because it is not her country type of food. So I know that this fruit salad is generally eaten by everyone worldwide so I will like to give her my fruit salad at least something that I produce in my kitchen and I believe she would like it so much and she will cause enjoy our African fruits.
