Mediterranean Delights
Fruit Salad
Serves 8-10
1 large seedless watermelon, out side washed in cold water
1 cantelope
1 honeydew
1 orange
1 apple
2 kiwi
2 cups seedless grapes (any variety)
1 cup sliced strawberries
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1. Carefully wash the watermelon in cold water before cutting. Dry with paper towels. Using a sharp smooth knife, cut out two outer corners of the watermelon, leaving a center handle. This may take a few cuts to achieve the handle. Reserve the pieces in a large bowl. Using a melon baller scoop out balls of watermelon and reserve in the bowl. If you do not have the melon baller, simply cut out cubes of watermelon.
2. Prepare all remaining fruit to add to the watermelon basket. Wash all fruit in cold water and remove seeds from cantelope and honeydew scoop out with melon baller or cut into cubes. Cut seedless orange into small sections. Cut kiwi into slices. Cut apple into small slices and sprinkle with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Add some of each fruit to the watermelon basket, except the kiwi. It is too fragile and may break. Toss together lightly. Then add kiwi to the top of the fruit. Reserve extra fruit to refill the basket as needed. You can decorate the handle with fruit or fresh flowers. Enjoy!
