STRAWBERRY MELON SALAD WITH HONEY-LEMON DRESSING
This is one of the simplest and best melon salad which I LOVE enjoying all melon season. Oh, I mean, summer season. :) Seasonal melons are soon going to disappear... So I thought to enjoy few more melon dishes... while I can still find some juicy cantaloupes, honeydews, and muskmelon in market. Why have I made so simple melon salad? Simply because I wanted to enjoy delicious taste of fresh melons. Also, melon, mint, and lemon dressing is a classic combination which I can never have enough. Each component of this salad compliments other. Above all, nothing overpowers the sweet melon flavor.I'm sure you wondering: why honey in dressing for an already sweet fruit salad?!Well, honey and lemon make a very lite, sweet and sour dressing which balances the sweetness of melons. Not just that, this dressing also mellows the tartness of strawberries... making every bite so scrumptious.PS: From past few days, I'm stuck with a major laptop hiccup. Just managed to up it for posting a recipe. I'm hoping to get back on blogging business in few days. :-) In meantime, I hope you will enjoy this simple and beautiful melon salad.I would say, get some melons, seasonal berries, and enjoy some Melon fruit Salads while you still see these juicy, low carb fruits in farmer's market! Just so you know, this scrumptious salad is vegan, gluten free, and also nut free.Wish you a great day ahead. - Savita

MELON-BERRY SALAD
The best way to cool down on a warm day is with a chilled fruit salad. Serve this one for breakfast, brunch or dessert. Yogurt and coconut milk make the creamy dressing even more decadent. Wait until just before serving to garnish the salad. Otherwise the toasted coconut will get soggy. -Carrie Hirsch, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

SUMMER STRAWBERRY SALAD
I was asked to take a salad to a backyard get-together and didn't want to just take the same old thing, so I came up with this recipe, which combines features of several different salads I've had in the past. Look for my recipes for balsamic vinaigrette and creamy orange soy dressings on this site. Both are excellent with this salad.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful strawberries and melon. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor. Look for strawberries that are bright red and plump, and melon that is slightly soft to the touch.
- Use a variety of melons. This will add different flavors and textures to your salad. Some good options include cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon.
- Add other fruits and vegetables to your salad. This will make it more colorful and nutritious. Some good options include blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, cucumber, and mint.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the flavors of the fruit. A simple vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar dressing is a good option.
- Serve your salad chilled. This will help to keep the fruit crisp and refreshing.
