Ingredients
For the salad
- 850 grams cantaloupe/rockmelon (½ a melon, 30oz)
- 350 grams green seedless grapes (12.35oz, 2.5 cups))
- 250 grams blackberries (9oz, 2 cuos)
For the dressing
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar*
Instructions
- Whisk to dissolve the lemon juice and sugar, then let stand to allow the sugar to completely dissolve.
- Rinse the blackberries in a colander under gently running cold water and allow to drain while you are preparing the rest of your ingredients.
- Wash the grapes, shake dry and remove from the stems.
- With a large spoon scoop out the seeds of your melon then cut your melon into quarters.
- Then using a sharp knife remove the rind (you should just have the light orange flesh remaining).
- Rinse the melon under cold water to remove any seeds, shake dry then dice into bite sized chunks.
- Place all the fruit into a large mixing bowl, give the dressing one more whisk, pour over and mix the fruit in the dressing.
- Arrange in a salad bowl and chill until ready to serve. Great with vanilla yoghurt or ice cream.

Notes
*If you prefer more sweet in your sour then add another tablespoon of sugar, just keep in mind the nutritional panel does not account for this ?
