For most people, the first thing that comes to mind when they see the word ADDICTION… They think ,this girl has gone crazy for sure.. Yes! i have …crazy addicted to fruits. And i will add them to almost anything just to enjoy their freshness and deliciousness. Lately i have been adding them to salads. My nephew is always like..” Aunty, not again!!” If im not adding random vegetables to salads , it is fruits ..lol! Who knows what i will add next.

So when it comes to salad making , i literally wing it. Like, i never have a plan, i just open the fridge, see whats there and make a plan. lol. As for the dressing , same thing, i make a plan with whatever is there. I did make a nice citrus dressing the other day. I tried to put a basic recipe for you below, after having to sit for a few hours trying to remember what i put into it. Fun times.

CITRUS VINAIGRETTE/ DRESSING

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (approx. amount from 1 orange)
• dash salt (to taste)
• dash pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients until fully blended.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours so the flavors can fully develop.
3. When ready to serve, uncover, stir well to re-combine ingredients, and pour over salad. Enjoy!

I sometimes use an old spice bottle or peanut butter jar, add all ingredients and shake it up till blended. Below are some pictures of the salad ideas i have done with my favourite fruits.
