Ingredients:

1/4 cup water
60g
1 cup almonds
90g
8 oz greek yogurt
230g
1 tsp salt
6g
3 kiwis
260g
3 apricots
100g
2 bananas
240g
10 strawberries
120g
1/2 cup cherries
80g
2 plums
130g
1 lime
70g
1 oz chocolate candies
27g
3 oz dried coconut meat
81g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruits:
- Peel and slice the kiwis into thin rounds.
- Slice each apricot in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin wedges.
- Peel and slice the bananas into bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them in half.
- Pit the cherries and slice them in half.
- Pit the plums and cut them into thin wedges.
- Zest and juice the lime. Set zest aside for later use. We'll use the juice in step 3.
2. Warm the Water:
- In a small saucepan, bring the 1/4 cup of water to a boil.
3. Toss the Fruits:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced kiwis, apricots, bananas, strawberries, cherries, and plums.
- Drizzle the lime juice over the fruit mixture.
- Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly with the lime juice.
4. Warm the Salad:
- Pour the boiling water over the mixed fruit in the bowl, then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Let it sit covered for about 5-7 minutes. The steam will lightly warm the fruit, enhancing their natural flavors.
5. Prepare the Nuts and Coconut:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Once toasted, remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lightly toast the dried coconut meat for about 3 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
6. Serve:
- Uncover the fruit mixture and drain any excess liquid.
- Divide the warm fruit salad into serving bowls.
7. Garnish:
- Top each bowl with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle with toasted almonds, toasted coconut meat, and crushed chocolate candies.
- Finally, add a small pinch of salt and a bit of lime zest over each bowl for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

- Choose ripe and fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor.

- Mix the Greek yogurt with a bit of honey for added sweetness.

- Feel free to add or substitute fruits based on what’s in season or your personal preferences.

- Serve the salad in a chilled bowl to keep it cool longer on a hot day.

- Add a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness.
