Nut salad and dried fruit makes a sugar-free for vegetarians

In the winter months when clean locally grown fruit is in short supply, this vegetarian-friendly fruit salad is not only healthy but delicious as well.
If you don't like green tea, replace it with unsweetened orange, apple or grape juice.
Add a few clean raspberries or strawberries (if in season) to liven up this salad. Dried Fruit Salads with Green Tea 500 ml (2 cups) hot brewed green tea 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) mixed dried fruit (apricots, figs, prunes and dates), diced 75 ml (1/3 cup) almonds, walnut halves, sesame seed or sunflower seed.
In a heatproof bowl, pour hot green tea over fruits. Cover and keep cold for at least 4 hours, until chilled, or overnight. To serve, spoon into serving dishes and shake over with nuts or seeds or both.
