📋Ingredients
To make this healthy, nutrient-packed snack, you need these ingredients:
I prefer apples and pears with the skin on. After thoroughly washing, pat them dry. Cut them into small bite-sized pieces.
Use bananas and raspberries only when serving immediately, as they soften quickly and can become mushy if the snack sits for too long.
Peanuts - Roasted peanuts make all the difference. Their salty, nutty crunch adds depth and perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruits - just like in fruit nut vegetable salad!
Sweet potato - Boiled and peeled. I've lightly mashed it and added a bit of lemon juice to create a thin base coating for the fruits. You can also use whole chunks, or skip this step if preferred.

👩🍳How to prepare welcome fruit snack?
Thoroughly wash all the fruits and pat them dry. Then cut them into small, bite‑sized pieces for easy mixing.
Boil the sweet potato and allow it to cool. Peel and roughly chop it into large chunks. Add them to the bowl you'll use for the fruits. Gently mash with a fork to create a soft, rustic base. Stir in a little lemon juice and mix until everything is well combined.
Stir in the chopped fruits, black salt, chaat masala, and roasted peanuts. Skip the chaat masala if you don't have it.
Toss the fruit mix gently. Chill in the fridge for 10-15 mins before serving.
To serve, spoon the prepared fruit mix into small glasses. I usually add a few chopped raspberries on top for a lovely color boost, totally optional. As raspberries are delicate, add them only at the final stage.

❄️Storage
If you're not serving the fruit immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mix to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Stir gently before serving to refresh the texture.
Avoid adding delicate fruits like raspberries, oranges, or bananas until just before serving, as they soften quickly.
ℹ️FAQ
Yes, you can prep it 2-3 hours ahead. Store in the fridge and add delicate fruits just before serving.
Lemon juice helps prevent oxidation, especially for apples and bananas.
Use firm fruits like apples, grapes, pears, and pomegranates. Avoid overly juicy fruits to maintain texture.
📝Tips
Use fresh fruits for better texture and crispness.
Pick fruits that are not overripe. They should still be slightly firm.
Toss fruits gently to keep them intact.
Add delicate fruits just before serving.
You can use regular salt if needed, but the flavor is much better with black salt.
Try to skip fruits with very high water content, as they tend to release moisture and dilute the freshness of the bowl.
