This is a refreshing fruit salad with a light citrus dressing that will be a hit on any buffet or potluck menu. Simple to make, and delicious to eat-this needs to chill for at least an hour before serving. This recipe will serve 50 to 54 people. Ingredients:
1 watermelon |
3 honeydew melon |
3 cantaloupe |
1 1/2 lbs green seedless grapes |
1 1/2 lbs red seedless grapes |
3 cups sugar |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
1/3 cup lime juice |
1/3 cup orange juice |
Directions:
1. Cut all melon flesh into cubes, or use a melon baller.
2. Combine sugar and all fruit juices, then pour over fruit, tossing to coat.
3. Cover and chill for at least one hour, and use a slotted spoon when serving.
4. Serving suggestion: Instead of serving the fruit salad out of a regular bowl, try cutting the watermelon in half length-wise, remove flesh as instructed above, then use the empty'shell' as the serving bowl for the finished fruit salad.
