This cool Fresh Melon Fruit Salad is perfect for a pot luck, picnic, or a nice family barbecue. In season fruit is so sweet and hits the craving for something easy, delicious and thirst quenching. My family enjoys this dish fo any get together or family outing. I know your family will love this fruit salad too. The honey and lime marinade not only brings out the flavor of the fruit but keeps it from turning brown and mushy. Enjoy!

I’m thinking the lime is going to give it a really good boost of flavor. Fresh fruit is coming into season so I can’t wait to give it a try.
The lime really give the fruit a pop of freshness with the tart flavor. It also stops the fruit from browning as fast. I hope you have a great week!

And I have a new friend with lots of dietary restrictions for both herself and her husband, so I’ve got to make time to ransack your site for some good ideas for feeding them.
I sure hope I have enough! In my home we have gluten free, dye free and meat free. But since I love carbs, dairy and sugar you may find slim pickings in some areas. Enjoy your week And thanks for thinking of my recipes!
