Ingredients

3 cups watermelon (diced or use melon baller)
3 cups sliced strawberries
2 cups cantaloupe (diced or use melon baller)
2 cups honeydew (diced or use melon baller)
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp agave or honey
⅛-¼ tsp sea salt
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
1 ½ tbsp finely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

To make the dressing, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tsp agave, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp salt. Then add in 3 tbsp chopped mint and 1 1/2 tbsp chopped basil and stir gently. Set aside while prepping the rest of the ingredients so the mint and basil have a chance to flavor the dressing.
For the salad, use a melon baller to carve balls out of watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe melon. You should keep scooping until you have 3 cups of watermelon balls, 2 cups of cantaloupe balls, and 2 cups of honeydew balls. Don't discard scraps - either eat them on their own, or add them to a smoothie or juice!
Slice the strawberries lengthwise into thin round circles. Add the strawberries and balled fruit to a mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Gently stir to coat fruit, and then transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

½ medium cantaloupe melon (about 350g/12oz), skinned and cut into chunks
250g strawberry , hulled and sliced
4 ginger biscuits, roughly crushed (try Fox's Crinkle Crunch)
2 pieces of stem ginger in syrup (about 25g/1oz), chopped, plus 2 tsp of syrup from the jar
2 x 150g / 5oz pots Greek yogurt
4 tsp light muscovado sugar

Steps:

Gently mix the melon and strawberries together in a large bowl with a spoon or your hands, then pile half into four glass tumblers. Sprinkle with half the biscuit crumbs.
Stir the chopped ginger and syrup into the yogurt and spoon into the tumblers. Pile the rest of the fruit on top, then scatter with the remaining crumbs.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of muscovado sugar on top of each dessert and chill until ready to serve (up to 2 hours ahead) - the sugar will gradually melt to give a yummy toffee flavour.
Take out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving, so they are not too chilled.
