How to make Chilli Orange Fruit Salad

Combine the boiled peanuts, diced cucumber, carrots, and chopped fruits in a wide bowl.
Add rock salt, chilli flakes, honey, desiccated coconut, orange juice and lemon juice (if using) to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients well and refrigerate until nicely chilled.
Serve the delightful salad either as a light meal or as a flavourful side dish to enhance your main course.
