HA'S ASIAN FRUIT SALAD/SOUP
Ha was a very nice military wife I used to know. This fruit salad is one of her family recipes. After I tasted it and asked for the recipe, she was so pleased that I had enjoyed the recipe, that she not only provided me with instructions as to how to make it, but the ingredients as well. You will need to look in an Asian market for the ingredients for this recipe and some will find this to be a very acquired taste. Ai-Yu jelly may looks a lot gelatin and comes in both green and red (and perhaps other colors as well) but Ha used green. Do not try to substitute ordinary Jell-O type gelatin for the Ai-Yu jelly as it is not the correct taste or consistency. Although she called it a salad, I consider this to be a dessert soup. I have since eaten this using coconut milk as well, served as a cold soup. I have also tried using coconut jelly (which comes precubed) in place of the Ai-yu with good results.

Steps:
- Drain the fruits, saving the juices.
- Chop the palm seeds into small cubes and slice the jackfruit into julienne strips.
- Drain the Ai-Yu jelly and dice into small cubes.
- Combine the jackfruit, palm seeds, and the jelly cubes in a large glass serving bowl or divide into individual serving dishes.
- Ha served this in one large serving bowl and poured milk or cream mixed with some of the reserved fruit juices over it all to taste.
- I prefer to only serve out as much fruit& jelly as needed per serving dish, and then pour a little cream or milk mixed with some of the reserved fruit juice on top.
- Ha said it was more traditional to use cream, but she often used milk to be healthier.

Tips:
- Choose the right fruits. Use a variety of fruits that are in season and at their peak ripeness. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and refreshing.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to meld together.
- Use a light dressing. A simple dressing made with lime juice, honey, and mint is a great option. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is light and flavorful.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help to keep the fruits crisp and refreshing.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or flowers. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Asian fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With so many different fruits to choose from, there are endless possibilities for flavor combinations. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious snack or side dish, give Asian fruit salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
