Refreshing Fruit Salad


Last weekend was the unofficial end of summer. Bid the season farewell with a summer favorite in the form of fruit salad, made with a bounty of cool and healthy melons. Cantaloupe and honeydew are excellent sources of vitamin C while watermelon provides ample amounts of vitamins A, C, and the beneficial phytochemical, lycopene.
Melon Salad
1 lb. watermelon
1/2 lb. honeydew melon
1/2 lb. cantaloupe
4 Tbsp. diced feta cheese
2 Tbsp. finely chopped mint leaves
Juice of 1-2 limes
Salt and pepper to taste, if desired
Whole sprigs of mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Seed the melons and cut into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a platter or 6 salad plates. Sprinkle with the feta and chopped mint. Season with lime juice and, if desired, a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. If using, garnish with sprigs of mint.

Makes 6 servings.
