Melon Fruit Salad

The only thing better than eating melon fresh from the vine is in a fruit salad. Mix this delicious Moon and Star Watermelon with other fruits in season for a simple and summery dessert.

1 Moon & Stars melon
Blueberries
Strawberries
Raspberries
2 lemons
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Cut the Moon & Stars melon in half. Scoop out balls of fresh melon with a rounded spoon and place in a bowl along with equal parts of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Squeeze in the juice of 2 lemons and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons light brown sugar and toss to coat. Garnish with slivers of fresh mint or lemon balm.

Melon Moon & Stars
This heirloom watermelon has black smooth skin dappled with yellow spots that form a " moon and stars" pattern when ripe. The sweet flavor is sure to please and like other watermelons, if kept cool will store easily until ready to serve.
