Categories     Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 oz whole grain pasta (shells or rotini)
1 1/2 c canalope melon
1 1/2 c honeydew melon
1 1/2 c pineapple ( 1" cubes)
1 1/2 c fresh red seedless grapes (halved)
6 large strawberries, fresh
8 oz cream cheese
4 Tbsp limeade, frozen
2 Tbsp honey

Steps:

  • 1. Boil pasta in sugared water as directed on package for al dente. I add about 1/8c sugar to my water while boiling the pasta. That way the pasta is sweet not salty.
  • 2. Drain & cool pasta. Do Not rinse.
  • 3. While pasta is cooling cut fruit. If I am in a hurry I buy cut fruit in the produce department. Cut the grapes in half. It is just easier to eat. Set fruit aside.
  • 4. In a bowl mix cream cheese, limeaid and honey until smooth.
  • 5. In a large bowl combine all ingredients. (Pasta & fruit). Mix well but don't break up pasta. Now add your cream cheese dressing. You want is well dressed but not soupy. Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
