Recipe for Pakistanian Fruitsalad

My husband and I had a really good friend from Pakistan. He stayed in Sweden for studies and came to our home to visit. We talked, watched TV and had dinner together. He was an excellent cook and made often the food himself for us all. One day he brought a lot of fruit it was a whole bag full. Then we sat down around the kitchen table and chopped the fruit into pieces. We used:

Oranges, Bananas, Grapes, Grapefruit, Pears, Apples, Peaches, Pineapple, Avocado, Guava, Melon, Raspberries, Star Fruit, Strawberries, Kiwi, Kumquat and Blueberries

He left a couple of Limes for later. We brought out the biggest bowl we had to mix all these fruit pieces together. Now here is the twist of this fruit sallad:

Our friend added SALT AND PEPPER! He cut in half the limes and squeezed the juice into the bowl and started mixing it all. The limes blended with the juice into a thick dressing. So the fruit sallad had no liquid at all. Then we let it rest for a while and had this odd mix for lunch. With scepticism I took a spoon full. I can tell you - it was so fantastic. The salt and pepper made me think of "ordinary" food. We ate till we were full and happy. He put the rest in the fridge and said that we could use it for dinner and breakfast later. It did not go bad and was just as good the next time !!

Of course you can take any fruit you like. I just told my own story here. The special is the pepper and salt and - the squeezed Limes
