Categories     Salad

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cantaloupe (cut into bite-size chunks (about 1/2 a regular cantaloupe))
3 cups watermelon (cut into bite-size chunks (about 1 baby seedless watermelon))
2 cups green or red grapes (or combination)
¾ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons honey
Juice from one lime
½ chopped jalapeno pepper (with or without seeds, more or less to taste)
Grated lime peel from one lime (grate the skin from the lime you will juice before juicing)
2 kiwis (peeled and sliced)

Steps:

  • In a resealable plastic bag, combine the cantaloupe, watermelon and grapes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, honey and lime juice. Stir in the jalapeno and lime peel.
  • Pour over the fruit. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible, and turn to coat.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Just before serving, add the peeled and sliced kiwi to the salad, tossing with the dressing to coat.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon.
  • Optionally, you could cut the melon into balls with a melon baller, but this takes longer and the contrast of the chunky melon pieces with the round grapes makes a nice presentation.

I picked up this dish a couple of years ago, and really like the mint and fruit combo. Cilantro is one of my summer favorites so sometimes I use it instead. Turns out, this recipe's really two in one! -Kayla Spence, Wilber, Nebraska

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD



Perfect Summer Fruit Salad image

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.
