Saturday Fruit Salad

This pink salad was very fresh, but a bit tart.

Keeping it simple

I like to start my days with a fresh fruit salad. I know what you're thinking, chop fruit, put in bowl, eat. Not the most challenging of dishes. But while many people think the best way to add interest to a simple salad is to include a wide array of fruits, a raw food book I read once recommended a much simpler method. Try only three. But try a different three every day. That is so easy, why didn't I think of it? Now I buy a variety of in-season fruits, but only use three in my salad each morning. You can really taste the nuances in each and I have created some delightful combinations that otherwise wouldn't have crossed my mind. I will be sharing my latest salad creations here along with any tasting notes. And if you are inspired to try your own, please share them!

Strawberry
Watermelon
Mango

Since all of these fruits err on the sweet side, I added a squeeze of lime to balance it all out. This is one step farther than I usually go, and in this case it really paid off. Everything was juicy, sweet, and just a bit brighter because of the lime juice. Yum yum!
