How to Make Fruit Salad Of The Ancient Greeks

  1. Halve the honeydew melon and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/2-inch border to create two melon bowls.
  2. Cut the scooped melon flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the melon pieces, grapes, figs, pomegranate seeds, and toasted almonds.
  4. Divide the fruit mixture evenly between the two melon bowls.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and wine. Heat over low heat, stirring gently, until the honey is completely dissolved (about 1-2 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Carefully pour the honey-wine mixture over the fruit in the melon bowls.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Garnish with extra almonds or a sprig of mint, if desired.
