Fresh Fruit Salad - Sałatka Owocowa

Summer is coming, so we have greater access to the fruits that their prices also tempt.  My proposal today is the fruit salad. Simple with plenty of vitamins. I remember the days when such a fruit salad is done in the classroom technology in elementary school, were indeed poorer because of the empty shelves in stores, but still delicious as it is today;)

Ingredients:

1 pineapple
1 red apple
1 green apple
250 g of green grapes and dark grapes
2 oranges
3 kiwis
10 strawberries
1 cup orange juice (or juice to prepare squeezed orange  and a half lemon in a half glass of water and sugar)

Slice pineapple cut with a knife along the inside of the plant and throw, then bore through tablespoons pineapple pieces. Oranges and kiwi fruit peel and slice. Wash the grapes, cut into half, remove seeds (if the grapes are small and do not have seeds, you can add them whole). Other fruits washed and cut into cubes or slices as desired. Put chopped fruit in a bowl, pour the orange juice, stir and set aside for 30 minutes.

Serve in bowl, or you can use the previous two halves hollowed out pineapple. For salads, you can use canned fruit particularly in winter, but as now with a range of fresh fruit, which offer us the bazaars and shops.
Enjoy your meal;)
