Key points:
Peparation of fruits and vegetables:
we are using ingredients like apple, carrot, pineapple, in raw form. We need them fresh. Always cut them just before mixing otherwise your salad will lost its freshness and taste will be ruined. If it is necessary to cut them before mixing add a few drops of lemon juice to apple chunks to avoid blackening. Pineapple cubes can be freshly cut or that can be tin pack. Carrot chunks should be stored in air tight container or zip lock bag in cool and dry place to avoid soggyness.
Other ingredients like potatoes, peas and macaroni must be boiled before before adding in salad. Add water in the pan with half teaspoon of salt. Boil for 5 min and then blanch to avoid over cooking. Blanching is the process of adding ingredients into ice cold water immediately after boiling to stop process of cooking. This will help in retaining the shape and and save ingredients from over cooking.
Preparation of creamy yogurt dressing:
For making yogurt dressing we need yogurt, cream, honey, salt black pepper, salt and white pepper. White pepper is optional as my kids don’t like its flavors, I don’t use it. To make paste creamy we should beat as much as possible and we can do this by our hands or hand mixer.
Mixing of vegetables and fruits:
Take a large mixing pan and add all solid ingredients in it. Mixing bowl should be wide enough so mixing proces gets easy.
Mixing of vegetables and fruits with creamy yogurt dressing:
I use two spatula to mix ingredients so that every chank will get fully coated with dressing. Mixing with hands is not at all is good idea.
Setting/Resting time:
Now transfer all mixture to a serving container and cover it with the lid or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.
Serving suggestion
This recipe taste best when cool. This salad can be placed in the fridge for 3 days.
