Fresh Berry Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps

Fresh berries, crisp apples and spicy ginger make a sassy dessert salsa you can enjoy with cinnamon tortilla crisps.

A friend of mine was extolling the delicious flavors she had recently sampled in Mexico. A particularly tasty combination was freshly grated ginger and granny smith apples. I decided to take that combination one step further and create a dessert salsa that would harness the heat of the ginger and incorporate the sweetness of fresh berries.

Ginger has a long history of medicinal benefits. It is anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and aids in digestion. Apples are a rich source of flavonoids, fiber and pectin; and have a number of health-protecting benefits. Berries are also an excellent source of flavonoids, vitamin C and fiber. Plant based foods are our richest sources of micronutrients and benefit our health in countless ways.

This Fresh Berry Salsa can be served in the traditional way as a dip with the cinnamon crisps; or can be used as a topping over sorbet. I also love a dollop on top of my almond yogurt as part of my breakfast.
