LOUISIANA SUNBURST SALAD

A delightfully flavorful salad that give you a twist on taste with cinnamon and tabasco sauce. It's a tweaked recipe from Chef Robert Bruce at the Palace Café on Canal Street in New Orleans. If you don't have raspberry vinegar, you can soak a raspberry teabag in the required amount of regular vinegar overnight. I used Celestial Seasons Raspberry Zinger. Works great!

FRUIT SALAD SUNBURST
