Healthy Cook Recipes: Spicy Fruit Salad – Variety of Sour Fruit with Ginger and Cinnamon

Spicy Fruit Salad – Variety of Sour Fruit with Ginger and Cinnamon

After you spent your time in hurry or occupy in stressful issue, some fresh food can help you to feel better. I’m thinking about salad because I don’t have too much time during this week. As you may know salad is very easy for cooking, you just prepare fruits or vegetable with the desirable syrup. Also, you can eat for your breakfast or for dinner especially for people who are on diet.

For today, I don’t only choose sour fruit like pineapple, peach, orange, strawberry, grapefruit and kiwi but I also use cinnamon and ginger for originality. Moreover, I just knew that cinnamon is very good for health; it acts like other volatile oils and once had a reputation as a cure for colds and you can use for treating diarrhea and other problems of the digestive system.

However, you can adapt my recipe for your favorite food or some fruit which you can find in your refrigerator, up to you.
