with an artistic eye. Food should be a feast to the eye as well as to the taste buds. You may wonder why I have sweet basil in a fruit salad. Aroma comes from the basil and the cinnamon. An aromatic salad is a great stimulant for digestive fluids. My recipe has color, flavor and nutrients for healthy bones, body and mind. The salad provides a variety of vitamins and minerals and is a source of fiber. Walnuts provide omega 3 fatty acids, essential for a healthy heart. The salad would be a great hit in a party too.
