Festive Holiday Fruit Salad
Amidst all of my holiday baking, I realized I was creating a lot of fairly *unhealthy* desserts. I wanted to make a fruit salad that was festive for the holidays, but still had a little bit of that sparkly/sugary treat aspect. So, not entirely healthy, but you can always add or omit added sugar here.
The inspiration for this really was the remaining cucamelons I had from my summer garden. I know! Leftovers in December? It was pretty crazy. We had such a long growing season this year, that I harvested these actually in November and kept them in the fridge for a bit. If you have never had a cucamelon, they can be pretty tart. Somewhere of a cross between a cucumber and lemon in flavor in my opinion. They are a great addition to sweet and savory dishes. In place of them you can use diced cucumbers and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Be creative with the fruits you use, I just used what was around and somewhat seasonal for me. I used greens and reds to keep with the holiday theme and I really like the way it turned out. The sugared cranberries really add that special festive touch. I have included a recipe for making sugared cranberries below. If you plan to include them, I recommend you make these first with enough time for them to settle. I hope you enjoy!
