Fruit salad
I picked up a copy of Cooking Light the other day in Whole Foods, because the picture on the cover (I think it was lasagna) looked good. There was an article about potassium inside, and how it's good for reducing high blood pressure and hypertension, and also reduces cramps if you've been doing a lot of exercising. Those are all fine things and a good reason to eat food that is good for you...but I made this salad because it looked good.
This is my version. The original is in Cooking Light's current edition.
Fruit salad
2 cups canteloupe, in bite sized pieces
2 cups honeydew, in bite sized pieces
2 mangos, cubed
6 kiwis, in wedges
1 medium papaya, cubed
for dressing:
2 Tbsp mint
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp lime juice
1 Tbsp orange rind
2 Tbsp orange juice
Blend dressing in food processor, pour over fruit and mix together.
Everything in this salad is a high-potassium fruit, and it tastes good, too. In other food news, I made a yogurt parfait this morning with banana/vanilla yogurt, granola, strawberry yogurt and more granola. It was really tasty.
