·         3 cups cantaloupe, cut into bite-size chunks (about ½ a regular cantaloupe)

·         2 cups green or red grapes, or combination

·         ¾ cup orange juice

·         3 Tablespoons honey

·         ½ chopped jalapeno pepper, with or without seeds, more or less to taste

·         Grated lime peel from one lime, grate the skin from the lime you will juice before juicing

·         2 kiwis, peeled and sliced

In a resealable plastic bag, combine 3 cups cantaloupe, 3 cups watermelon and 2 cups grapes.

 

In a small bowl, whisk ¾ cup orange juice,3 Tablespoons honey and lime juice. Stir in ½ jalapeño and lime peel.

 

Pour over the fruit. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible, and turn to coat.

 

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

 

Just before serving, add 2 peeled and sliced kiwis to the salad, tossing with the dressing to coat.

 

Serve with a slotted spoon.

 

Optionally:

You could cut the melon into balls with a melon baller, but this takes longer and the contrast of the chunky melon pieces with the round grapes makes a nice presentation
