ENSALADA DE FRUTA Y YOGURT (Frozen Yogurt Fruit Salad)
Country of origin: Argentina
3 Tablespoons honey
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1 medium plum, pitted and sliced
1 large orange, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
1 large grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 medium banana, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 quart frozen vanilla yogurt
In a large bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice. Stir in the fruit, and serve topped with a scoop of frozen yogurt. On Christmas Eve, celebrated on December 24, Argentines eat a late meal of cold beef, chicken, or turkey, and fruit salad. Because Christmas occurs during summertime in South America, Argentines often eat the meal outside on decorated tables. After dinner, they eat almonds, dried fruits, and pan dulce, a sweet bread that is similar to fruitcake but has fewer fruits and nuts.
