Fruit Salad Medley image

Cut the melon pieces into large chunks, or if you have the time use a melon baller for pretty presentation.

Provided by Good Dinner Mom

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.

Last but not least, Yvonne tosses together an effortless sweet treat to cap off the meal. "I received the recipe for Creamy Fruit Medley from a friend of my mother's years ago," she recalls. "I always have the ingredients on hand in case I need a quick dessert. "Any flavor of gelatin works well, and sometimes I spoon it into individual parfait glasses instead of serving it in one big bowl," Yvonne suggests. "Everyone enjoys it."
