Carambola (kehr-ahm-BOH-lah) is a juicy, sweet-tart fragrant fruit that derives its other name-star fruit-from its shape when sliced crosswise. The skin is edible, so there's no need to peel the fruit. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
1 tablespoon fresh pineapple juice |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon honey |
1 1/4 cups diced peeled papaya |
1 1/4 cups cubed fresh pineapple |
1 medium carambola (star fruit), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices (about 5 ounces) |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts, lightly toasted |
mint sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine mint, pineapple juice, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl.
2. Combine papaya, pineapple, and carambola in a large bowl. Drizzle honey mixture over fruit, and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with macadamia nuts. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
