Honey Melon Salad

Since melon season is just about over, I wanted to post this uncomplicated recipe today so you could bid a fond farewell to this summertime staple. The pineapple mint shown in the photo is a nice touch.

Serves: 6 Serving size: 1 cup Preparation time: 20 minutes tops Chill time: 1 hour

Ingredients
1-1/2 cup cantaloupe chunks
1-1/2 cup honeydew chunks
1-1/2 watermelon chunks
1/2 cup red or green grapes
1/2 cup fresh dates, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 ounces fresh orange juice
4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon mace
Fresh mint leaves

Directions
1. Combine fruit and nuts in a large bowl.
2. Mix together orange juice, honey and mace. (Heat honey a little if necessary to mix.)
3. Pour this liquid mix over the fruit.
4. Turn into a serving bowl and garnish with mint. Chill for an hour before serving.

I hope you enjoy this dish. Let me know if you've tried it and how it turned out.

Good cooking to you,

Linda

"This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

"I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

"Do it!" they urged.

I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
