Summer Fruit Salad


This was delicious so had to post. Includes basil from garden, so it counts as garden related!

I did not grow the fruit, however, maybe next year!






3c. peeled chopped peaches

8 oz FRESH mozzarella cubed or sliced

3Tbs fresh basil snipped

3/4 cup Lemon Poppyseed Dsg

4cups watermelon seeded & cubed

2cups honeydew melon

1 cup mango(i threw this in because i had it!)

3 cups fresh strawberries sliced

2 cups seedless green grapes cut in half


Toss first 3 ingredients with 1/4 cup Lemon Poppyseed Dressing. Layer watermelon, peach mix, honeydew, berries, and grapes in a large glass dish or bowl. Serve immediately or chill for up to 8 hours. Toss with remaining 1/2 cup dressing . Garnish with fresh mint sprig!


Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Using small processor, blend 2/3 cup veggie oil, 2 Splenda packets, sprinkle of sugar, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 & 1/2 Tablespoons poppy seeds, 2 heaping Tablespoons chopped onion, 1Tablespoon Dijon mustard and a shot of salt. Store in fridge for 1 week, serve at room temp, flavor's better!
