Not your Typical Fruit Salad

Who doesn’t like a nice cold fruit salad on a hot summer’s day? We thought it’d be nice to turn up the heat on the fruit salad. Don’t worry, we’re still offering you a cool treat, just with a little twist.

We came across a recipe for spiced melon balls a couple of years ago, and have since realized adding other fruits and a few extra ingredients made for a truly unique salad.

Spiced Fruit Salad

½ cup chunks of each of the following fruits:
      - watermelon
      - cantaloupe
      - honeydew
      - pineapple
      - halved grapes
      - ripe peach or nectarine
      - red grapes (we just cut these in half)
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground coriander
¼ tsp. cayenne (more or less to taste)
1 ½ Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
½ Tbsp. finely chopped mint
2 Tbsp. lime juice (can use lemon, or a combination)
Sugar to taste

In a large bowl combine all fruits.


In a small bowl combine salt, coriander, cayenne, cilantro and mint. Whisk in lime juice and sugar.


Pour spice mixture over fruit and toss to coat.


Cover and put in the fridge for at least an hour.

Enjoy!
