Melon Mélange

Cookbook Category: Salads

This salad looks pretty, even if you don't use a melon baller. For a buffet or crowd, you can double the recipe and serve it up in a hollowed-out watermelon half.

1/2 6-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 6-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons triple sec
4 cups assorted melon balls or chunks (cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon)
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh preferred; if canned, drain well)
1 cup seedless green grapes
1 cup fresh strawberry halves

Combine the lemonade and orange juice concentrate with triple sec, and mix well.

In a large bowl, gently stir together all the fruit. Pour the juice mixture over the fruit, and carefully stir. Cover and refrigerate several hours before serving. Makes about 8 servings.
