A Simple Refreshing Recipe

Those of us with food allergies often cook for ourselves.  This way, we can get what we want, know how it's prepared and just what ingredients went into it.  No one will be more careful with your food preparation than you will be.  With this in mind, I am constantly thinking of ways to make simple, delicious recipes that don't take much time so you can get to the good part . . .eating!

I made up a very simple fruit salad that was pretty tasty, satisfying AND, of course, healthy too!

Spicy Sweet Tropical Fruit Salad

Chopped fresh pineapple
Fresh cut mango
Fresh papaya
Shredded coconut
Crushed red pepper to taste

Use what ever portions you want of the above fruits or just use pineapple alone (it tastes so good on its own in this salad).  At Trader Joe's, they have pre-cut tropical fruit available in the refrigerator section.  Just chop, toss, add coconut and crushed red pepper (also available at TJ's).

The spicy sweetness of this salad is great.  It starts off sweet and finishes with delicious lingering spiciness.  It's great on its own or as a side dish for a summer barbecue (coming right up!).

This salad contains the digestive enzyme bromelain (found in pineapple), papain (found in papaya), healthy fat found in coconut and blood circulation support from the crushed red pepper.
