Steps:

• Make dressing by stirring together plain yogurt, a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of grated gingerroot.
• Halve melon and scoop out seeds. Slice, peel, and cut into chunks. Mix with grapes.
• Slice mango on each side of the pit. On each half, slash the flesh into a criss-cross pattern down to the skin. Push the skin from underneath to turn the mango halves inside out. Remove the flesh and add to melon mixture.
• Arrange watercress and salad greens on 4 serving plates. Whisk olive oil and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the watercress and greens.

MANGO AND MELON SALSA

Steps:

• I also like to add a couple of sprinkles of Cumin.
• It adds a really nice flavour.
• Honey is also optional, if the lime is really tart, you may want to add a small teaspoon of honey.
• Cube the melons, mango, and red pepper.
• Quarter the cherry tomatoes.
• Slice the red onion into very thin rounds.
• Combine in a bowl.
• Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp.
• garlic salt, or mix in pulversized garlic.
• Add the lime juice.
• Chop and add the cilantro leaves.
• Sprinkle with black pepper, cayenne, salt, and cumin.
• Mix together.
• (At this point the smell is heavenly).
• Garnish with a few thin slices of star fruit.
• (For me this is purely an aesthetic thing).
• If it is too sour, add a bit of sugar or honey.
