ARTISTS' FRUIT SALAD RECIPE
QITK tip:You can also make this fruit salad recipe with an artist's touch. First, choose fruit in season, in colors pleasing to the eye and textures that satisfy the tongue. It's hard not to appreciate the array of choices in Hashem's palate. Then put it all together and like any artist, give it a "signature," a flourish of flavor that makes the fruit salad outstanding.
Spring and Summer: Peaches, plums, blueberries, banana, mango, watermelon, strawberries
Fall and Winter: Oranges, red and green grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, apples, pears, pomegranate seeds
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
