Cocktail Appetizer

This is a very refreshing & well appetizing dish. And it is always a hit in any party. Perhaps its something to do with the mint or perhaps the sweet & sour & a little spicy punch. 
No cooking is needed  here. That's why it is so simple.

You can use any types of clams or even prawns. But make sure u drain them well. When using prawns, blanch them and set them aside. 

You have the pleasure to play around with the fruits. Use mangoes or melons instead of apples. Replace pomelo with oranges.
