Healthy Bite : 5 – Artisan Fruit Salad



A meal off from the blue flame; Yes!!! I like to prepare few of meals straight from refrigerator. No heating/baking/frying absolutely nothing. Eating fresh greens and fruits make me so alive. My love for green and fresh fruits was all the way from my childhood.  My evening snacks after school was chomping on the chilled tomatoes. I am glad the love persists, unlike my sister who enjoys more of meat, sea food and nearly hates green.  She is trying build up her taste towards greens now. She understands how healthy they are.


Taste is one factor that drives people crazy. Everything and anything is always about absolute taste. The savor from the spices makes people excited and they forget the actual taste of greens.  Thanks to my digestive system which can hardly take any spices. Hence, I try to make best of my options available. If you want to try out eating greens without cooking. Here’s the artisan salad for you.
Strawberries, Pomegranate seeds, Almonds that were soaked for few hours, peeled and chopped.
Artisan salad that I grabbed from Costco; it’s 3 lettuce varieties.



Of course I added Blue Berries too. There can be many variations. You can add olives, cheese, cucumber, red onions, fresh oregano, Balsamic Vinegar, Jalapenos, chopped crunchy greens too. I wanted a fruits affair.




In the end I added dried cranberries and croutons in salad bowl. My husband likes it with croutons as that give a salted flavor.  Enjoy!
