My Polish mother-in-law makes a similar salad for Christmas every year. As any daughter-in-law, I couldn’t leave it unchanged:-). Although my mother's-in-law version, I will write few words about later, is also very tasty.
It’s better to make this salad with sour, deep red pomegranate, for the contrast of taste and color. But unfortunately, I didn’t have any that day. As for liquor, then “Advocaat” is the best, but of course you can take any other, except for creamy “Baylis” (fruit acids will make it coagulate).
Ingredients
- 1 pomegranate
- 2 bananas
- 2 sweet apples
- 8 tangerines
- 3 kiwis
- 150 ml of egg liqueur “Advocaat” (for children substitute with fruit yogurt)
- 100 grams shreddered coconut
1) Preheat oven to 180˚ C.
2) Spread shreddered coconut over heat-resistant dish in a single layer. Roast in preheated oven for 5 minutes till golden brown. Coconut becomes crispier and more flavorful. Remove from the oven and let coconut cool in the same dish.
3) Wash, peel and dice bananas, apples and kiwi. Transfer into a large mixing bowl.
4) Peel tangerines divide into segments and cut each segment into halves. Peel the pomegranate, remove white membrane and separate the seeds. Add tangerine and pomegranate seeds to the rest of fruits.
Add 80 grams of roasted coconut. (leave 20 grams for sprinkling over).
5) Season the salad with egg liqueur. If you are making salad for children, then season with yogurt.
If you are dressing salad with yogurt, then You can serve it immediately. If not, then cover with a lid or foil and place into refrigerator at least for 2 hours. Store it up to 2 days in refrigerator.
(I always dress one half of the salad with yogurt and other part with liquor, in separate bowls, of course).
So, few words about my mother’s-in-law salad. She makes it without coconut and with addition of various canned fruits (peaches, pineapple, lychee). I do not like industrial canned fruits and skip them. If you decide to add some, then choose solid fruits (like peaches or apricots) for the salad not to look like a mash.
