Forest Berries Crepes Salad
YumForest Berries Crepes Salad : Highlight of the season !
If your children resist eating fruits, this Forest Berries Crepes Salad just may make the difference. It is a perfect season to make them now using fresh fruits but you may also use frozen ones so it may be done during all four seasons.
Also, if you can get ready to use mulberry / blackberry and raspberry pulpa, it will save much of your time since I did it all from scratch.
It takes 1 ½ cup of fresh berries, loosely packed, for ½ cup of pulpa in case you decide to make crepes using fresh fruits.
Maybe a good idea could be putting aside ½ cup of smoothie you do in the morning. Of course, the colour of the crepes may be kiwi green or golden mango. It really gives as many variations as your grocery offers. Fruit puree/pulpa is actually replacing milk you would add to batter while making standard crepes.
To describe the process, I photographed both little bowls with pulpa I got from making puree and separating seeds out:
Leaving the pulpa aside, I mixed ( using spatula) the rest of crepes’ ingredients; here is the photo so you see the texture of the batter :
Now, here are separate bowls with batter ready for crepes to be cooked:
I hope you will enjoy preparing, cooking and eating !
