So this one has been awhile coming. I was not going to post it as the pics are lacking that special something. Also on day two when I wanted to take the pics my fridge did this whole freeze my fruit nonsense. I need to have it looked at as it's a new and pretty fancy fridge. Not pleased at all. Anyhow I decided to post it anyway as I know my foodie friends will still appreciate this and most people will be stunned that I:
ate a salad
ate fruit without sugar on top or placed in ice cream
that it wasn't made into butter
So if nothing else this proves I do occasionally eat something healthy and good for me. I know I have been posting a ton of dessert and ice cream recipes but we actually eat other things. Shocking I know.
So here it is in all it's frozen, craptastic photo glory. Enjoy!

I love to eat melon - I just don't like preparing it! Looks like you had a great day at the market! Enjoy your week!

Fresh and simple, your fruit salad looks delightful! I'm envious of your trip to the farmers market! You have so much beautiful produce to choose from! We've had a horrible outbreak of Listeria this year in Colorado so cantaloupe is pretty much gone from our markets.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts!

I just went to a luncheon and the fruit salad was the first to go! It has a nice touch of sweetness while still being healthy-your salad looks wonderful!

Melon salad with honey and mint is a combination I use as well. Very refreshing aint it?

Congrats on eating healthy. Dudette just asked if we could get some melon next time I go shopping, so now I know exactly what to do with it.

I love melon salad.

Honey = perfect timing. The Jewish New Year is coming up, and honey is a big symbol for the holiday! So I say go for it. Drench that melon salad in sweetness. Can't hurt! (love the addition of mint, too...)

I've never added lemon and honey for molon. It'll be a nice change to try something new!
