EXOTIC FRUIT SALAD
Exotic Fruit Salad is a delicious, healthy and satisfying naturally sweet treat to enjoy for breakfast or as dessert. Why exotic? Because I rarely find dragon fruit and I love it so much.
Ingredients
- 1 dragon fruit
- 12 strawberries or 1 punnet
- 1 cup grapes
- 8 fresh mint leaves

PREPARATION OF ORANGE REDUCTION
- To prepare the orange reduction, mix orange juice and cornflour in a thick bottomed pan.
- Put the pan over medium heat and let the juice become hot.
