RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Serve this potassium-packed fruit salad (662 milligrams per serving) with breakfast or as a light dessert. Use a mini chopper to combine the dressing ingredients--it's the ideal size to blend the small amount of dressing for the salad.

  • 2 cups (1 1/2-inch) cubes honeydew
  • 2 cups (1 1/2-inch) cubes cantaloupe

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange peel

I made this for a dessert gathering at a friend's house. I am trying to cut down on sugar and wanted to bring something healthy to eat. I'm happy to say I didn't miss eating the other desserts. The mint makes this fruit salad so refreshing! Instead of sugar I used agave nectar. And I used the fruit I had on hand: strawberries, blueberries, banana, watermelon. This would be good with any fruit!

Made to recipe. Gorgeous presentation, great flavors. Served with slices of CL's garden harvest cake (toasted) and orange-peach-mango mimosas.

I've made this recipe a couple of times. I love the mint in the dressing (and ordinarily, I'm not a huge fan of mint), and the salad is very pretty.
