How to Make Fruit Salad In A Cantaloupe Basket
- Using a food-safe marker, draw a zigzag pattern on the cantaloupe for a decorative cut.
- Carefully cut along the pattern, cutting deeply into the melon to create two halves.
- Scoop out the seeds from both cantaloupe halves using a spoon.
- Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh from the cantaloupe, reserving about 1/4 cup of the balls for garnish. Also, scoop out 1 cup of honeydew melon balls.
- Set aside the melon balls.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional), and 1 teaspoon lime zest.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the reserved cantaloupe balls, honeydew melon balls, 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), and 1/2 cup seedless green grapes to the bowl.
- Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly in the sugar mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Give it a gentle stir every 30 minutes.
- Spoon the fruit salad into the hollowed-out cantaloupe halves. Arrange reserved cantaloupe balls on top as a garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this beautiful and delicious summer dessert!
