Minted Honey-Lime Fruit Salad

This is my favorite fruit salad. This salad is really easy, and perfect for any 4th of July celebration you might be planning. And the sauce makes every morsel taste like candy. Plus, the combination of honey and lime is reminiscent of Brazil, where they believe every fruit can be improved with those two things. And I'm thinking that anything that's reminiscent of Brazil is good.:)

Minted Honey-Lime Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp.grated lime peel
• 2 TBSP lime juice (side note: if you roll the lime on your counter before juicing you get more juice out of it!)
• 3-4 TBSP honey
• 3 TBSP chopped mint
• 1/2 small honeydew, cubed
• 1/2 cantaloupe, cubed
• 1 pint fresh strawberries, halved and hulled
• 2 c. fresh pineapple or mango cubed

In a large bowl, stir together lime peel, juice, honey and mint until combined. Add honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries and pineapple or mango. Toss to combine. Makes 8 servings.

Bon appetit! Oh! And feel free to make it your own. Just a few suggestions of other fruit you can add: watermelon, grapes, mandarin oranges, other citrus fruits...just whatever floats your boat!
