AVOCADO BEET SALAD

Happy Election day Kenyans! Now lets get back to food business. Today I made a Fruit Salad. Fruits Salads are just colorful little bowls of yummy wonders. We got a bunch of fruits from Ushago (the village/grandmas home) and what better way to enjoy them all at once other than as a fruit salad. You can make ahead and refrigerate for later use but make sure you sprinkle with lemon or lime so that the Avocado or Bananas do not discolor. I'm liking the Beet root currently, it not only adds a bright red color to the Salad, but gives the Salad a lovely crunch. Most importantly the Beet root is great for your health as it increases your blood.A few pointers that I have now learnt. Mix the Beet root right at the end just before serving as it tends to discolor the rest if the ingredients. Two also add the avocado in the end and gently toss if your Avocado is very ripe. Apart from that, have fun making your Fruit Salad, add or remove any ingredient that you do not like!
