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
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until fully combined.
- Stir the poppy seeds and chopped mint into the lime-honey mixture. This is your glaze.
- Gently pour the glaze over the fruit mixture. Toss carefully to coat all the fruit without crushing it.
- Cover the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- 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.
