Salpicon Recipe (Makes 4 servings):
Ingredients
-1/2 medium sized chopped or scooped watermelon without the rind
-1/4 cup of iced water
- 3 cups of favorite selection of chopped or small fruits (for our Colombian recipe we used papaya, banana, strawberries and grapes, and for our Michigan version we just used blueberries and apples).
- 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)
-Sugar to taste (optional)
Preparation
-Blend the watermelon, the iced water and the optional sugar until fully liquified.
-Fill a cup with a variety of your favorite chopped fruit. Make sure the pieces are very small. You can add as much or a little fruit as you prefer.
-Add the watermelon juice on top of the chopped fruit.
-Enjoy fresh. You may top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
It is better fresh, but you may refrigerate for 48 hours. Bananas and apples may change color if not consumed right away.
This is a delicious and healthy way of enjoying fruit. Salpicon is a very traditional drink that is often enjoyed in the streets of Bogotá. Let us know if you tried it!
