Ingredients

  • 1 medium honeydew melon, processed into spheres with a melon baller
  • 3 large kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 cups green seedless grapes, halved longitudinally
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or light agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime zest, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chiffonade

Instructions

  • In a small mixing vessel, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, and honey until the mixture is fully emulsified.
  • Place the diced Granny Smith apples in a separate small bowl and toss immediately with a teaspoon of the lime dressing to inhibit enzymatic browning.
  • In a large chilled glass serving bowl, combine the honeydew melon spheres, sliced kiwis, and halved green grapes.
  • Add the prepared apples to the fruit mixture.
  • Drizzle the remaining lime-honey dressing over the fruit components.
  • Gently fold the salad with a silicone spatula to ensure even distribution of the dressing without compromising the structural integrity of the softer fruits.
  • Scatter the fresh mint chiffonade over the surface for aromatic contrast.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) for up to 2 hours prior to service.
