Cantaloupe Strawberry Salad

Salads

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23

Cantaloupe Strawberry Salad – a cool and refreshing fruit salad using seasonal fruits perfect for a light meal or dessert.

I am a firm believer in eating seasonal foods. It makes sense because seasonal foods are at their peak, in terms of harvest and flavor. They are also usually at their freshest and cheapest on the market. It is a win-win situation for both the consumer as well as the producer.

The First Signs of Spring

One of the first signs of spring at the grocery stores are the appearance of melons, berries, and asparagus. This past week, cantaloupes and strawberries were on sale. I could not pass it up. I picked up a huge cantaloupe that looked like it was ready to be eaten and a pack of strawberries.

Juicy Cantaloupe

The cantaloupe was from Guatemala. When I cut open the melon, I was surprised by the color of its flesh. It was a deep orange color, almost like a mix of orange and red. It reminded me of blood oranges though not as deep. The flesh is really fragrant, juicy, and very sweet. I can’t wait to go back and get another one to make ice cream or this Cantaloupe and Mango Sorbet.

A Fruit Salad

I decided on a simple fresh fruit salad combined with strawberries and mint this time. Since both fruits are on the soft side, I added toasted sliced almonds for texture. I actually had this Cantaloupe Strawberry Salad for lunch and enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Oh my this looks good! You have combined two of my favorite fruits! I’ve never thought of combining them, but that’s probably because here where I am, strawberries are usually on their way out when cantaloupe come in. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen this year, because I would love to try this. YUM! BTW-I just sent you an email about this salad and a request, so please keep an eye out for it. Thanks!

      Thanks MJ for the kind words! I hope you get to try this salad as it is so easy yet so tasty. This batch of cantaloupes are the grocery store was a little early but I am glad I caught it as it was so good.
