Fruit Salad Wonton Cups

One last gathering before the end of 15 days of Lunar New Year. I needed something quick and easy to fix up for our potluck contribution to the gathering as we only returned home the night before. So decided do a simple appetizer - fruit salad in wonton cups. First saw such wonton cups at rojakrendevous and later saw a how to video by Rachel Ray.

The cups were really easy to do. Just brush the wonton skins with olive oil, position the skins into mini muffin cups, sprinkle with a bit of salt and bake the skins in 170C oven for about 9mins or until the skins turn brown and crisp. Take out the baked cups to cool before using. Now the cups are ready to hold whatever you want to put in it!

I did a simple fruit salad as the filling for the wonton cups. Japanese zuchinni were chosen for its crunchy texture, strawberries and mango were added for sweetness, grapefruit was included to brighten the mixture and lastly raisins to raise the overall sweetness and to add another texture to the salad.
