Enjoy this Papaya and Mango Yogurt Salad with Granola as a breakfast or brunch treat
During my travels to Mexico City, Coahuila and Oaxaca, we were often presented with a tray full of their seasonal fruit, no matter where we lodged. It was all an unparalleled hospitality of relatives, hotels and restaurants. The colorful and welcoming gesture was usually accompanied by a side of plain or vanilla yogurt, their homemade granola and local raw honey. This was served before our breakfast meal. “Para abrir el apetito” (“to whet the apetite”).
I really miss those beautiful Mexican gestures. More than ever during these difficult times. What to do to relive those moments? Recreate them at home.
This was the perfect opportunity to make my own pre-breakfast fruit salad by using this month’s My Cajita delivery: A hand-painted talavera 12″x6″ platter and some breakfast paletas with their three Lékué BPA free silicone paleta molds.
