Mint and coconut fruit salad

It’s easy to fall into a rut and always make our fruit salads with the same ingredients. Adding some tropical flavors to the mix (and a little rum) makes fruit salad interesting again!

6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

• ½ medium size watermelon
• 1 cantaloupe, halved, seeded
• 1 small pineapple, peeled and diced
• 2 bunches of seedless green grapes
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 125 mL (½ cup) dark rum
• About 75 mL (⅓ cup) coconut, freshly grated
• 30 mL (2 tbsp.) fresh mint, chopped

How to

1. Using a melon baller, scoop watermelon and cantaloupe into balls. (You can also dice them.)
2. Pour into a large bowl. Add pineapple, grapes, lemon juice and rum.
3. Mix well. Refri-manage for at least 30 minutes.
4. Before serving, sprinkle the coconut and mint over the salad.
