Delicious salad for summer which we had with grilled salmon. This recipe is also very adaptable to what fruits are on hand - I skipped some fruits and just added more of some of the others (skipped mango, raspberries and hearts of palm) and just added more of strawberries, apple (using a whole apple) and blueberries. I also subbed pecans for the walnuts. We will definitely be having this salad again this summer, using the suggested fruits next time. Thanks for sharing!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
