Power to this juicy green fruit bowl salad, that does not need much more than a good hustle. This salad is all about fresh fruits in a variety of textures and flavors.
This fruit salad is a combination of honeydew melon, green grapes, kiwi, avocado and apple, with a simple dressing of lime juice and honey and basil. No oil needed. It is obviously vegan, gluten-free, lactose free and fiber rich and no added sugar.
The melon is cut in small balls with the melon baller. Who invented such a down to earth name for this tool? You can use it for many other fruits; it is a handy little tool. Cut the apple in quarters and then in slices (not peeled), peel the avocado and cut in slices and then in smaller pieces. Peel the kiwi and then cut in slices through the middle. The green grapes? Just wash them.
