Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Cantaloupe
- 1 cup (hulled and sliced) Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 10 small leaves (roughly chopped or torn) Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup (freshly squeezed) Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon (optional, adjust for sweetness) Honey
Instructions
Slice the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Use a melon baller to create bite-sized cantaloupe spheres, or cut the flesh into small cubes with a knife. Place the cantaloupe pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Add the prepared strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to the bowl with the cantaloupe.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice and honey (if using) until well combined.
Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit in the bowl and gently toss the salad to coat the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and give it one final gentle toss to incorporate the mint.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
