This is a great time
of the year for fresh fruit lovers like me.
The abundance and variety has me looking for new ways to prepare it
almost daily. I like a nice dish of
mixed fruit, but sometimes that can get to be a bit boring. This tasty dressing adds a bit of sweetness
and zing to any fresh fruit that may be lurking in overflowing bowls on your
counter or bins in your fridge. It’s a
huge hit at brunch, but equally welcome as a refreshing afternoon snack or
light dessert.
Mixed Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 cups Melissa’s Canary melon*
2 cups Melissa’s Hami melon*
2 cups seedless Melissa’s Muscato grapes
2 cups diced peeled and cored fresh pineapple
1 cup halved hulled strawberries
Whisk first 4 ingredients together in a small bowl to blend; set aside. Toss any variety of fruits together in large bowl. Mix dressing into fruit. Let stand 15 minutes to blend flavors.
This can be prepared up to 8 hours ahead. Do not mix dressing with fruit until just
before you are ready to serve.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
*Use a melon baller to make rounds rather than dicing them into squares
