Fruit Salad with Citrus-Mint Dressing

Serve this potassium-packed fruit salad (662 milligrams per serving) with breakfast or as a light dessert. Use a mini chopper to combine the dressing ingredients--it's the ideal size to blend the small amount of dressing for the salad.


6 kiwifruit, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
2 cups (1 1/2-inch) cubes honeydew
2 cups (1 1/2-inch) cubes cantaloupe
1 medium papaya, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons mint
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange peel
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Combine kiwifruit, honeydew, cantaloupe, and papaya in a medium bowl.
Place sugar and remaining ingredients in a mini chopper food processor; pulse until mint is finely chopped. Pour sugar mixture over fruit, and stir gently to coat.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 1/3 cups)

Would this be okay if it had to sit in the fridge for about 24 hours before it was served? I was assigned fruit salad for a potluck Saturday, but I have to work pretty much all day Saturday. I may have an hour or two between work stuff, but if I can make it Friday night, that would be best.

...making the salad and dressing ahead of time, but keeping them separate, and then combining them at the last minute? Seems like it would taste fresher that way, at least to me, and it wouldn't be much to fuss with at work.

I would not cut the kiwi or papaya ahead but the melon would be fine. I think fruit salads are best at room temperature. But I would be suspicious of making it this time of year when summer fruits are so poor.

Just wondering where you live in MN. I'm from MN also. You probably don't want to reveal that online though. I guess I'm not sure I want to either. I was just excited to see someone from MN! Have you tried the fruit salad at all?

I live 45 minutes NW of Minneapolis in a small town. It is 30 min from St Cloud.

I can't remember.

Hi Kristi!
I live just an hour away from you in Fergus Falls! Maybe we'll have to get together and discuss our IBS sometime! Interesting, HUH!
