Kiwifruit and apple salad with labane and meringue

This is the classic kiwifruit "pav" turned upside down. Labane is a delicate yoghurt-based cheese from the Middle East, similar to creme cremente fraiche.

2	Green apples (Main)
1 Tbsp	Mint leaves, shredded
1 cup	Water
½ cup	Sugar
1	Lemon, (zest & juice separated)
1 sprig	Fresh mint
1 packet	Creme fraiche
1 packet	Meringue, (mini's)

Directions

1. Place the lemon zest, sugar, mint sprig and water in a small pan and bring to the boil.
2. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. Peel the kiwifruit and cut them and the apples into batons.
4. When the syrup is completely cold, pour it over the fruit, then gently stir through the shredded mint.
5. Divide the salad evenly between four large martini glasses, top with a dollop of labane and a handful of meringues.
