I think everyone has their favorite food combinations, sweet & salty, spinach & mushrooms, bacon & tomato. Years ago I made my favorite fruit combination into a salad. It seemed I wasn't able to have just blueberries without the strawberries & cantaloupe. Now this salad is requested on a regular basis at pot lucks, birthday parties, and just because it sounds good. This dish is super quick & easy to make and epitomizes the sweetness of summer! Best of all it only has natural sugars, NO fat, and is stock full of essential vitamins and nutrients like potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vintamin K, and folate. I definitely don't mind the kids having second and third helpings of this dish.
You'll need 1 ripe cantaloupe, 1 pint fresh strawberries, and a heaping cup of fresh blueberries. I also add a spring of fresh mint, chopped, when I can find it.
Clean and rinse all fruit; cut cantaloupe into bit sized pieces, cut strawberries into fours, and add blueberries whole. Gently stir to combine fruit. If using mint, sprinkle over top for garnish. (I couldn't find mint at our local market so we didn't use it this time.)
What did I tell ya? Super quick and easy!
ENJOY! -- Jenn
