Bionico
Let’s check out some desserts! Bring in the Bionico, a proud Mexican fruit salad.
This dish mixes bite-sized cubes of fruits like cantaloupe, strawberries, apples, papaya, honeydew, and banana. The fruits are drizzled with crema, a mix of sour cream and condensed milk, then topped with some granola, shredded coconut, and raisins.
Sometimes, in place of crema, Mexicans put cottage cheese, thereby giving the Bionico a slightly salty, but still very pleasant taste. When cottage cheese is used, there would usually be a dollop of honey on top. The combination of sweetness and saltiness produces a pleasing balance of flavors.
As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Mexico, eat and drink what the Mexicans enjoy. Arriba!
