RECIPE INGREDIENTS (Lemon-Ginger Trail Mix)

Serves 4; 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons per serving

3⁄4 cup high-fiber cereal squares
1⁄4 cup slivered almonds
1⁄4 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds
1⁄4 cup dried apple slices, chopped
2 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

In a large nonstick skillet, stir together the ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until beginning to lightly brown, separating the bits of lemon zest and gingerroot and stirring frequently.

Spread in a single layer over a large plate to cool quickly. Store the cooled mixture in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
