I am joining FRUITS & VEGGIES MONDAY initiated by 
I saw these rambutan fruits in my local market, and although they didn't look fresh, I still bought a handful of them to snack on. The outer layer on these fruits were very thick, had dark colors of maroon and brownish, which tell me I shouldn't buy them. However, I knew the inside would be just fine.
After cutting open the rambutans this was what I saw! The flesh was as juicy as it should be and had a light natural sweetness to it. Of course, there was a good size seed inside too and the price for a pound of these rambutans was $4.99. No wonder why they are listed in the exotic fruits, lol..
For a quick lunch, I made myself a big bowl of cucumber salad with my mom's homegrown cherry tomatoes, top with fresh mint and thinly sliced purple onion. I used Greek dressing on this with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Asparagus is now at the end of the season here! I steamed two bunches of asparagus and just quickly adding butter, salt and black pepper at the end.
The plate looked very green, no colors, and as I was looking for something to add, but my youngest son had taken half of it already when I turned around. He is a very picky eater, so I was just happy that he is at least eating something good and let it go without a fuss :-)
