Minted Fruit Salad

MINTED FRUIT SALAD

1 pint strawberries
3 kiwis
1 medium-size ripe cantaloupe
1 medium-size honeydew melon
Handful of fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp. sugar

Wash, drain, and hull the strawberries. Peel the kiwis and slice thin, reserving 1 sliced kiwi for garnish. With a melon-baller cut balls from the cantaloupe and honeydew melons. Mix all the fruits together except for the reserved kiwi. Chop the mint leaves and tender stems very fine and sprinkle on the side. Mix the orange and lemon juices with the sugar and pour over all. Toss the salad gently and thoroughly. Arrange the reserved kiwi slices on top and garnish with a fresh mint leaf. Chill for 2 to 3 hours and serve cold. Makes 12 servings.
