Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium) Honeydew melon
- 1 whole (medium) Cantaloupe
- 2 cups (peeled and segmented) Mandarin oranges
- 3 whole (peeled and sliced) Kiwi
- 1 cup (fresh or canned, peeled and deseeded) Lychee
- 2 cups (cubed) Pineapple
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, plus extra for garnish) Mint leaves
Instructions
Prepare the fruits: Halve the honeydew melon and cantaloupe, scoop out the seeds, and use a melon baller to create round bites of each. Peel and segment the mandarin oranges, slice the kiwi, peel and deseed the lychee, and cube the pineapple. Place all the prepared fruits in a large salad bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and freshly grated ginger until the honey dissolves completely.
Pour the honey-ginger-lime dressing over the fruit in the bowl. Toss gently to coat all the fruit pieces evenly with the dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the fruit salad and lightly toss again.
Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with additional mint leaves before serving and enjoy this refreshing Chinese fruit salad!
