NOTES
1. Also tasty:
Vary with fruit: Strawberries, pineapple, peach, and kiwi go well with this salad.
Herbs: Mint leaves are delicious with this, but also try lemon balm or basil, which are tasty with the fruit salad.
2. StorageThe stuffed melon with fruit salad is best served the same day, but it can be refrigerated for a day. The salad can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
