Ingredients for warm fruit salad

I used 1 apricot, 1 passion fruit, 2 strawberries, 3 cherries and one fig to make up my salad mix.

Honey is the only other ingredients for the fruit salad part.

For the golden yogurt sauce

Yogurt is the base obviously but the spices are the important part here.

I’ve used turmeric and cardamom.

Finish things off with flaked almonds

Yogurt

How to make this warm fruit salad

Fill your dish with the fruit, slicing larger pieces as nessesary and drizzle over just a teaspoon of honey.

Pop into a preheated oven at 180C/350F until warmed through, about 10 minutes should do it.

To make the sauce

To make the golden yogurt sauce simply crush 1 cardamom pod to get at the seeds inside and grind those finely, add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder and stir this into 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Set this aside in the fridge for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.

Toast a tablespoon of almond flakes in a dry pan for just 2-3 minutes till they release their aroma and are golden.

How to serve this fruit salad

Serve the warm fruit salad with the chilled golden yogurt sauce poured on top and then sprinkle on those toasted almonds.

I make mine in these little oven proof dishes that look cute enough to serve up at the table. This recipe will make one big portion, just double/triple or whatever to make as much as you need.
