As I write this blog at the end of June , July is nearly here when the temperatures rise to 44 degrees ( 50 in August!) and just as the Lockdown may end on 2 July , no one wants to go outside anymore! So I was really pleased when Kuya Patrick sent me this link for 5 summer Salads from his Yacht in Europe!

As some of my readers have the attention span of a goldfish I will share 2 of the salads here and 3 on the next blog.
1. Rainbow fruit salad with honey and lime dressing
500 g strawberries
2 Mangoes
4 kiwis
340 g Blueberries
2 bananas
2 Limes
2 Tablespoons honey
Method
Wash, peel and dice the fruit ( except the blueberries and limes) and mix in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the limes, mix with the honey and pour over the fruit in a bowl. Mix the sauce and fruit together . Chill and serve. How easy and refreshing is that on a hot day!
Over to TBK - click the video to see what he thought!
So rude. Chester asked for a video of me tasting the food so I made this:
Then he complains its too much like a scene from "When Harry Met Sally"
Honestly, Chester, some people are never satisfied!
Seriously it tasted delicious, so much so that on the day I made it I had it for lunch and then as my late Merianda after dinner, and again the next day! So there's enough for 3 fat boys like me or 6 Pinoys! Hopefully my dietary coach in the Philippines, Alex Ginette, will now be satisfied that I am eating enough fruit.
When I was showing the video to Chester he said his favourite fruits were Banana, Pineapple, Berries and Kiwi so I know he will be making this recipe soon !
2. Summer Potato salad
Ingredients
2 whole sweetcorn on the cob
1 kg new potatoes ( red if available)
Salt
1 red pepper ( capsicum for my Kabayan)
1 red onion
1 spring onion
1 stick celery
One third of a cup of Dill pickles ( Gherkins or Cornichon in French)
1 teaspoon paprika
Half a cup of low fat mayonnaise
Fresh Dill
Method
Wash and halve and boil the potatoes in the salt and then boil the sweetcorn . Watch the video ( link at the top of the blog) for how to prepare the corn! It uses a new Pinoy technique that I learnt from Jake for when you do not have a chopping board ( and its neat as it stops the corn going everywhere! ). Just remember to let the corn cool down before you shred it so you do not burn your fingers like me!
Next make the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise with the paprika, dill pickle juice and salt and pepper.
Then dice the red pepper, red onion, spring onion and celery and add to the cooled boiled potatoes, shredded corn, sliced pickles and dill . Then place all the ingredients and the dressing in a bowl and mix thoroughly before serving- like so
Tasting
Let us try and be a bit more formal and British this time...
We hope you enjoy making and tasting our summer salads as much as we did . I would like to point out I am also self taught on making and uploading video clips and I am 60. So please Like and subscribe!
Until the next time Kita Kits and Ingat Palagi
