Description

A refreshing, travel-friendly fruit salad featuring sturdy fruits and a light, non-creamy citrus glaze, perfect for boat trips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cubed cantaloupe
  • 2 cups cubed honeydew melon
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup green seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint


Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare all fruit. Cut melons and pineapple into bite-sized, uniform pieces. Halve the grapes. Place all prepared fruit into a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until fully combined.
  3. Stir the poppy seeds and chopped mint into the lime-honey mixture. This is your glaze.
  4. Gently pour the glaze over the fruit mixture. Toss carefully to coat all the fruit without crushing it.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve directly from the bowl or portion into small, sealed containers for easy serving on the boat.

Notes

  • Choose fruits that hold their shape well, like melon, pineapple, and grapes, as they travel better than soft berries or bananas.
  • If preparing ahead, keep the fruit chilled until you leave. The citrus glaze helps prevent some browning.
  • For easy serving on a moving boat, consider skewering the fruit pieces onto small wooden picks instead of serving loose in a bowl.
