Spicy Mixed Fruit Salad

This delicious Thailand-style fruit salad can be made with many different types of fruit. In this version we used big juicy chunks of Guava, green Apple, Pineapple, Rose Apple, seedless Grapes, and cherry Tomatoes. It's quite simple to make, and is a very nice and completely authentic Thai dish to serve for lunch or with a meal. The salad dressing has a delicious sweet and sour flavor with just a hit of hot chili. You can add more chili, or leave it out entirely to suit your own particular tastes.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Guava
1/2 Cup Granny Smith Green Apple
1/2 Cup Rose apple
1/2 Cup Pineapple

3 Tablespoons fresh Lime juice
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
2 Tablespoons Dried Shrimp

Basic Directions:

1) Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces.

2) Pound the dried shrimp in a mortar until flaky, then grind them together with the hot chilies until the chilies are well broken up. Mix in the fish sauce, sugar and lime juice. Keep pounding until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is smooth and creamy.
