Asian Fruit Salad with Dressing

 


Because I miss travelling to Bangkok and Vietnam where I once tasted the best mangoes and dragon fruits, here's a food post for you! Asian fruit salad is known for its vibrant colors, refreshing tastes, and mix of exotic fruits, often dressed with a citrusy or spicy sauces to enhance the flavors. Here's a simple recipe for an Asian-inspired fruit salad that you can easily prepare at home:


Asian Fruit Salad Recipe


 Ingredients:

- 1 cup of diced mango

- 1 cup of diced papaya

- 1 cup of pineapple chunks

- 1 cup of lychees, peeled and pitted (can use fresh or canned)

- 1 cup of dragon fruit, cubed

- 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds

- Mint leaves for garnish


Dressing:

- Juice of 1 lime

- 1 tablespoon of honey (adjust to taste)

- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger

- A pinch of salt

- Optional: a sprinkle of chili flakes or a teaspoon of finely chopped mint for an extra kick


 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruits: Peel and cut all the fruits into bite-sized pieces. If you're using canned lychees, drain them well. Place all the cut fruits in a large mixing bowl.


2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed. If you like a bit of heat or an extra layer of flavor, add chili flakes or chopped mint.


3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the prepared fruits in the bowl. Gently toss everything together until the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.


4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.


5. Serve: Garnish the fruit salad with mint leaves just before serving. Enjoy it as a refreshing dessert or a side dish on a hot day.

Short Story: The Vampire Next Door

Categories: FRIENDSHIP, TEENS & YOUNG ADULT, ROMANCE Nineteen-year-old vampire billionaire Welton Perry III stepped inside his new townhouse in suburban Maine already bored with the droning voice of the realtor. He held up one hand to stop the lady’s overeffusive description of the basement kitchen with the cold storage facility for his special dietary needs. He didn’t really need a fancy house, but his parents insisted. They wanted him to get as much rest as he needed after the ruckus he went through when his girlfriend and childhood friend sued him for assault, which was ludicrous.

Best Practices for Library Collaborations and Partnerships with Other Organizations

  Library collaborations and partnerships can work if we consider several factors, many of which have a lot to do with the cultural and economic climate of the region where your library is located.  Similar Perspectives  Unless all organizations in the collaboration agree that “a community can help raise a child reader,” the entire project will be in jeopardy.  We should never forget that there are people that do not believe libraries are still relevant, and if the organization the library is partnering with secretly or outrightly believe so, then the project is doomed from the start.   Examples of Library Collaborations  Some partnership projects your library can join are the following:   a book drive for disaster areas  workshops for slow readers (children/adults)  a recurring storybook reading session  Challenges of Library Collaborations One can dream that all library partnerships will be smooth-sailing, but experi...
