A quick and easy fruit salad with chopped walnuts, and cinnamon.

Servings

2 medium apples
2 medium pears
1 cantaloupe (or honeydew)
1 Banana, medium, fresh
0.5 cup orange juice
0.25 cup seedless raisins
1 tbsp chopped walnuts
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Wash apples and pears in cool water. Core apples, pears, and melon. Cut all fruit into bite-size pieces. Add orange juice and toss.
2 In a separate bowl, mix raisins, nuts, and cinnamon. Spoon fruit salad into 10 small bowls and sprinkle one teaspoon raisin-nut mixture over each serving.

This salad is quick and easy, can be made in advance. You'll get an extra zing from the chopped walnuts, and cinnamon is a favorite spice in Mexican cookery. You can vary the fruits to include your own favorites, or whatever is seasonal at the time.
