I'm never good at making desserts, and this fruit salad has been a reliable and trusted crowd pleaser. Its very health and it's so easy to put together. The mint gives it that extra fresh kick, it will never taste the right without it. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Yogurt and Coconut Fruit Salad

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 15:12:52 -0400

I made this up yesterday at the grocery store. Alltogether it was about $17, and because there is no actual sugar, it makes you feel good. It was worth every penny. I wanted to add a mango and a little honeydew, but none were available. I could have eaten a pound of it. -- posted by acedogcottoncat

Cantaloupe Pie Ala Texas and Pacific

Thu, 03 May 2007 18:02:40 -0400

Recipe courtesy of: Dinner in the Diner - Great Railroad Recipes - T&P Railway was originally chartered by Congress in 1871 to establish rail service from Texas to San Diego. This pie was a signature dessert in their first class dining car. DH and I are avid railfans and his huge collection of models and memorabilia is all T&P badged. The original, ornate station in south Fort Worth was recently refurbished and sold as loft condominiums http://www.texasandpacificlofts.com - This has nothing to do with the recipe of course but is where we dream of living someday (after everyone else moves out and we have the whole building to ourselves, of course ;-)). I will make cantaloupe pies as I listen for the steam engines to come puffing up the tracks; a long wait for sure but hey, it is *my* dream! -- posted by SusieQusie

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 23:49:11 -0400

I think this recipe came from Canadian Living magazine, but am not sure. The whole meal (which is comprised of Recipe #239788, Recipe #239892, Recipe #239789 and Recipe #239791) embodies the Thai tradition of combining all the five tastes: sweet, hot, sour, salty and bitter in one meal. -- posted by 2B's

Cantaloupe-Lime-Granita

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:59:54 -0400

Not overly sweet and lime, mint and white wine (Pino Grigio or a very dry and fruity white wine) give this Granita a summerly freshness. The sweetness of a ripe cantaloupe melon is often enough, so that you don't need to add more sugar. I like the cantaloupe not too ripe with a still lightly green colored flesh. In this stage the cantaloupe has some pear flavors and a sweetness of honey. This goes well together with lime and a dry white wine. The mint or peppermint add just a hint here. I prepare a Granita often one day in advance and mix it with a fork from time to time. Served in chilled glasses or a freezed half melon it is a wonderful dessert on a hot summer day. -- posted by Thorsten

This refreshing guilt-free sorbet is perfect for a hot summers day. I found it fairly easy to make for one of my first attempts at a sorbet because it only requires you to break up the mixture twice instead of up to four times like in most other sorbet recipes. You can REALLY taste the watermelon in this delicious icy treat! Can also be made vegan by emitting egg whites but it will just be a little trickier to scoop. -- posted by Brittney_xo

Beautiful presentation: a breakfast parfait! Instead of slurping, you get to spoon it up. Endless variations depending on your own tastes--so customize as you like. The recipe is made for ONE serving, adjust to the number of diners. If you let the Crunchy sit for an hour or so, the cereal absorbs moisture from the yogurt and goes from crunchy to chewy. Use frozen or fresh fruit, depending on what you have available. -- posted by Debber

Grilled Watermelon

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:30:42 -0400

This is something you need to try (as a side dish, dessert or incorporated into a salad or salsa). You will be surprised to taste that the watermelon is not quite as sweet as you'd think and it's more "meaty". I first had it in Sweden as a side dish and came home looking for the recipe! You can easily turn this recipe into a grilled watermelon salad by serving each wedge on a bed of baby lettuces or arugula, drizzled with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing then sprinkled with a little crumbled feta, blue, or chèvre cheese. Cooking time includes the "resting time" for the watermelon prior to grilling. -- posted by JanuaryBride

I always keep Costco's 3 Berry Mix in my freezer. I use these frozen berries, but use fresh if you prefer.

Cardamom-Flavored Fruit Salad (Salatat Al-Fawaakih)

From: "Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East & North Africa"-Arabian Gulf. This is the BEST fruit salad my husband or I have ever tried! It's easy, healthy, refreshing and WONDERFUL. You have to like cardamom to really appreciate it though. You may find yourself doubling the sauce in the future because you want to drink it up. I don't repeat very many recipes because there are too many new ones to try but this one is repeated over and over during cantaloupe season. I'm sure it would work with other fruits as well but I like this combo so much I haven't experimented. -- posted by Engrossed

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

Simple and Healthy and very satisfying, that's what its all about right? There's hardly any condensed milk here, but just enough to enhance the melon and make it of dessert quality. -- posted by robd16

Fru... Fru... Fruit Salad!

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:06:23 -0500

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember. I love this salad because i never liked eating fruits when I was little. This is a salad that even a fruit hater like me would learn to love fruits. ENJOY! (: [ BASICALLY... This recipe you could use any fruits but the ingredients I put down is what i usually put in my salad. Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

Cantaloupe and Blueberries With Fresh Strawberry Sauce

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:47:08 -0500

Source: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking This dessert is best made when fresh local berries are available. It looks especially pretty if you garnish each serving with a strawberry fan. To make the fans simply slice strawberry from tip almost but not completely through, then fan out slices. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario
