Fresh Fruit Salad in a Melon Ring

Ingredients

1 honey dew melon
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. honey
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup grapes (red or green)
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1 large or 1 small fresh peaches, diced (*I used canned peaches)
2 kiwi, peeled, cut into small pieces
lettuce leaves (I used red leaf lettuce)
a large size cookie cutter desired shape of cut-out

Directions

Cut the melon crosswise into 3/4" slices, and remove the seeds and the rind.

Using a cookie cutter, cut out the desired shape on 4 (or more) melon rings, around the center.

Place the melon cut-outs on lettuce lined salad plates.

Cut the remaining melon into small pieces (bite size) pieces.

In a bowl, combine the lime juice and the honey and blend well till thoroughly mixed.

Add the grapes, kiwi, blueberries, peaches, and the left-over melon pieces and toss gently to coat the fruit with the lime juice mixture.

Add the raspberries last, and gently toss, just to coat, being careful not to break apart the tender raspberries too much.

Spoon the fruit into the center of the melon rings, allowing some fruit to "spill" over.

Serves 4 - 6.
