This is many things. Light dessert, or a light lunch with Italian lunch meat and anti-pasta. This is great for a brunch. You can add and change what you wish. That is what is great about cooking, you can adjust to what you want or need for your meal. Read more I think fresh figs would be awesome in this as well. I would not add more then a few things then you have major fruit salad. Keep this simple. I would do figs with melon. Do just melons, or mango and papaya. Not everything at once. You can have this for a light lunch, brunch, dessert. I eat this on Greek Yogurt as well! See less
Ingredients
- You can make this fast dessert with any kind of melon, though a mixture (honeydew and cantaloupe)provides an a attractive contrast in color as well as texture. Choose heavy melons and rely on your nose to find one with a sweet, ripe taste. You can use mangos and papaya's as well. Basically any fruit. shopping list
- 4 cups balls, slices, or pieces of a mixture of honeydew and cantaloupe (or other melon) shopping list
- 1 large lime shopping list
- 1/4 cup honey shopping list
- 1 tablespoon dark rum or spirit of your choice (optional, you can add vanilla too if you wish. Again I am in love with Trader Joe's vanilla bean Paste.) shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the melons in half and remove the seeds.
- Use a melon baler to make balls, or use a knife to cut the flesh into pieces.
- Peel the lime with a vegetable peeler.
- Stack the strips of skin together and mince into a fine julienne.
- Add them to the melon with the juice of the lime (approximately 1/3 cup) and the honey.
- Stir the mixture and macerate for 1 hour if time allows.
- Add a tablespoon of dark rum or another spirit of your choice.
- Serve in small, deep dishes.
- Optional: I serve this sometimes with fresh whip cream with toasted coconut
- To turn this into a meal beside the yogurt. Sometimes I eat this wtih Prosciutto. This little dessert or brunch or side dish you can do anything with. Isn't cooking great?
