Healthy Fruit Salad

Fresh fruit salad is a traditional, healthy dessert. Not only delicious, it is nutritious, too - the natural antioxidants and fiber of fresh fruit support the body's defenses and help to keep it running smoothly. When making a fruit salad, include the following choices - according to the USDA, these fruits are exceptionally high in antioxidants:

Ingredients:

Wild blueberries 
Cranberries 
Blackberries 
Prunes 
Raspberries 
Strawberries 
Red Delicious apples 
Granny Smith apples 
Sweet cherries 
Black plums 

Wash all fruits and mix together after cleaning, peeling, cutting into pieces... 

In a separate bowl, add sugar, lemon juice, water and fresh mint. Mix, then pour on the fruit. 

Mix up the fruit salad really well, to incorporate all of the wonderful colors of your fruits. 

Tip: Look for organic varieties at your local farmer's market or grocery store, and enjoy!
