FLORIDA SALAD RECIPE

• Dice the fruit and the capsicum.
• Slice the cucumbers thinly.
• Chop the parsley finely.
• If using fresh pears, sprinkle a little lemon juice on top to avoid discolouring.
• Mix the capsicum with the pears and cottage cheese cubes.
• Put the lettuce in ice-cold water for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Break the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a round platter.
• Pile the pear and cottage cheese mixture in the centre and make a ring of the cucumber slices on the outside.
• Sprinkle the croutons around the salad and top with the cherries.
• Put in the refrigerator.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the dressing on top. Serve cold.
