This elegant fruit salad gets a palate-pleasing lift from mint. As well as being a low-sugar and calorie-wise dessert, it's also brimming with vitamin C.
Ingredients
- 1/2 honey dew melon
- 1 red grapefruit
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 2 tsp shredded mint leaves
Preparation
Scrape out seeds from melon. Cut into 8 wedges; cut off skin. Set aside.
Cut rind and outer membrane from grapefruit. Over bowl, cut between membrane and pulp to release fruit into bowl, squeezing membranes to extract juice. Whisk sugar and lime juice into bowl. Stir in blackberries and half of the mint.
