Easy Breezy Fruit Salad

Fruits are the best foods of nature. They are wholesome, complete in nutrition, fiber and essential minerals and still abundant in taste! This makes them an ideal food for children cos we all know they can be finicky! Fruit salad can also be served as a healthy appetizer before a party or after dinner as dessert for the health conscious ones! In this recipe I’ve added the readymade chaat Masala or the jal jeera powder/squash readily available at all grocery stores or supermarkets across India. For cities outside India as well, I’m sure you can get these at any good supermarket. These masalas/spice powders make our work easier. In next post, I’ll explain how to make a chaat Masala at home. Till then enjoy this quick easy fruit salad!
