Craving coriander but can’t quite make it to the grocery store, let alone India? Rent a Bollywood film, don a sari and have a family theme night to teach the kids about far away places. And be healthy at the same time.
You might as well double this recipe because it’s going to disappear! Fabulous in a wrap the next day, topping to a vermicelli salad or simply on their own, these kabobs are fast and phenomenal with the apple sauce marinade allowing the kabobs to caramelize under the broiler. The Mott’s Fruitsations Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce is equally easy to make and has that flavour every family member will love. Extend the sauce with chicken broth to make a sensational dressing for a noodle salad.
Nothing says springtime in Canada like fresh asparagus. Delight in the tastes of the season with this nutrient-rich and refreshing salad. The apple honey lime vinaigrette is fruity and delicious, and using Mott’s Fruitsations apple sauce reduces the amount of oil needed and helps to coat the lettuce. For people who love salad dressing and hate skimping – rejoice! This recipe promises to be a new favourite that is sure to mix-up your “fruit-ine”!
