Fruit Salad Cube recipe

 

Ingredients

• Watermelon
• Cantaloupe (rockmelon) or other sweet-ish melon
• Kiwifruit
• Pineapple
• Marshmallow (optional)
• Garnish items such as mint leaf, crushed nuts, sesame seeds or cinnamon

1.  Pick the fruit combination. Use fruit that can endure being cut into cubes and won’t brown .
   • If adding marshmallow, this will add a soft textured sweetness to the finished cube. It won’t be as healthy !
2. Cut the fruit into cubes. The cubes work well at around 2.5 cm / 1 inch each. This step is a bit fiddly but cutting well shaped cubes is what makes the whole cube work well.
   • Use a sharp knife for clean cutting.
3. Assemble the cube. Do this on the actual serving dish.
   • Make one row consisting of three alternating cubes. Alternate so that no adjacent cubes are the same fruit.
   • The base consist of four sides of three cubes each side.
   • Make two more layers the same. The cube is complete.
4. Serve. Place a mint leaf on top for a garnish. Sprinkle with crushed nuts, sesame seeds or a spice like cinnamon .
   • It is possible to serve this as a single cube for everyone to share from, or you can make it as a single serve cube for each diner. This will depend on how large you make the final fruit cube and how much fruit you’ve got to make the small cubes from.
