Spring is the perfect time to indulge in light meals, such as healthy fruits and salads, such as this refreshing Asian fruit slaw. It’s absolutely fun to combine salad and fruits together to make a fruit slaw, with an Asian twist, and with Spring just around the corner, this Asian fruit slaw is a wonderful recipe for the season.
For the dressing, I used a combination of whipping cream, honey and lemon juice, just like how I made my lobster and mango salad.
For the slaw, I chose cabbage red cabbage, plus carrots. This Asian fruit slaw salad is absolutely delicious and healthy, and it’s something that I will be eating for the next few months!

Hi. I used to make the Asian slaw fruit slaw salad from your recipe. I’m planning of making it again but i forgot some of the ingredients. I checked on your site again but your Asian fruit salad here has different dressing now. Can you provide me with the old recipe using the hoisin sauce dressing.
Thank you so much.

I love how you have put together a light fruit salad – some are too heavy on the syrup and sweetness! Thanks Rasa

Can you suggest an alternative for the mango? I am very allergic to it, and so many recipes use it! Thanks.

You can use any fruits you like.

Hi Bee
I have recently discovered your website and find it a refreshing change from the “traditional ” recipes (which, by the way I also love). However I was surprised that you are working with Nutella. There is a big question mark over here in France about the product being unhealthy because it uses palm oil. Putting aside the fact that it is mainly produced by Malaysia and Indonesia as well as the fact that much deforestation is going on to make land available for palm plantations, I would like to know your take on palm oil. Whether we should try to avoid the ingredient as much as possible.
Much thanks in advance
Laura

Hi Laura, I think everything in moderation is fine. I grew up in Malaysia and hence with palm oil. I have no insights as to the deforestation and I am not the best person to give any comments on that.
