Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15 mins
Servings: 3 Cups Dressing
Here’s a simple jam sweetened coconut flavored fruit
dressing. It’s not too sweet, so
it could be a great addition to smoothies too. If you like it, make a double batch & freeze in ice cube
trays. I used organic lingonberryjam from IKEA

Prep out all the fruits for the salad. Hollow out the cantaloupe & dice up
the lovely coral colored fruit.
Slice peaches, pears, apples, etc.
I add some of the sweeter vegetables like carrots, cukes & romaine
to my salad.
Toss the salad fruits & vegetables w/ enough dressing to
coat & arrange attractively inside the cantaloupe. Garnish w/ macadamia nuts & edible
petals. I used the slightly sweet
pineapple sage blossoms blooming in my garden. Plant edible petals or look for them in the market. This makes a wonderful breakfast &
mid week work lunch. The
macadamias give a satisfying tropical crunch and turn this salad into a full meal
Jam brings out the sweetness of the carrot, apple &
pear. The pear adds its wonderful
texture. And the tang of the
citrus brings it all together as a complement to a fruit based salad. A dressed fruit salad allows us to
enjoy fruits that are a tad under or overripe as the flavors marry. Use your favorite jam flavors.
