Mango and Melon Salad with Strawberry Sauce
(Serves 4)
Salad:
- 1 fresh mango, peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces*
- 1/2 cantaloupe, peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 honeydew, peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces
Strawberry Sauce:
- 1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries, or partially thawed frozen
strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
Place mango and melon pieces in a large serving bowl. In
a blender, blend strawberries with lemon juice and sugar until
smooth. Drizzle sauce over fruit salad and serve.
*How to peel and slice a mango: Slice each side of the mango
vertically along the seed to give two halves, and pull them
apart. Hold one mango half peel-side down and score the fruit
down to the peel (but not through it) in a tic-tac-toe fashion.
Hold the scored portion with both hands and bend the peel
backward so that the diamond-cut cubes are exposed. Cut cubes
off peel, then remove any remaining fruit clinging to the
seed.
This is an official 5-a-Day
recipe and provides four people with two servings of fruit
each.
