BREAKFAST Serves: 6 This is no ordinary fruit salad. The addition of Italian ricotta
balances the flavors perfectly. The walnuts also add a little
texture, while the cranberries give a subtle but divine tang.
This impressive breakfast dish is surprisingly simple to
make and can be tossed together in no more than
10 minutes (with time to spare). If you need to eat on the
