Such a pretty dish! I love the colors, the vibrant flavors.
I tweaked my version and added the following: the seeds of 1 pomegranate (I love the crunch, and the added health benefits), the juice/zest of a blood orange (A plain orange works just fine as well) and the juice/zest of a lime. Toss and serve with a chiffonade of mint, and you’ve got one fragrant, gorgeous dish!!

Heya Mario,

I have two answers:

1) I cut the kiwi like that because I didn’t know any better, and kiwi doesn’t seem to hold up very well with the skin on. Actually, Jaden of Steamy Kitchen had a great tutorial on how to prevent his kind of wastefulness in the future: how to peel and cut kiwi.

2) I’m not sure on the mango. It’s a little heavier-tasting than the honeydew, but worth a shot. I’d try it myself, but I’m actually quite allergic to mango (I do know what it tastes like, just can’t eat it in quantity like that!)

Hey Aleta,

Two things:
1) Did you cut the kiwi like that for the design or for ease of peeling? Seems like it’s a quick way to prep them, but unfortunately might waste a lot of the fruit?

2) Do you think a mango would work as a substitute for honeydew? (maybe not so nice looking)

Aleta, This looks so good! I wish that I could reach right through the screen to grab it!

Mmm… I love fruit salads – I think if you want to eat in season, pears and strawberries are a good combination. Toss it with some gorgonzola and walnuts, and orange slices.
