Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 honeydew melon
2 ripe peaches, pit removed and cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
2 pears, cored and cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch red seedless grapes, removed from the stems
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup yellow grapes
2 glasses dry red wine
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Cut the melon in half and remove the flesh carefully so as to leave the rind intact allowing it to be used as a pair of bowls.
  • Cut the removed melon flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl mix the fruit and the almonds. Divide the mixture between the two melon rinds.
  • In a small pan mix the honey and wine (or grape juice) and heat over a low flame stirring until the honey is dissolved.
  • Pour the honeyed wine over the fruit in the two melon halves.
  • Refrigerate the whole for about an hour prior to serving.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I found the instructions a bit confusing. The salad turned out okay, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of mint, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still very good.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pine nuts with sunflower seeds. It was still delicious!
