Not only is fruit extremely healthy, but it’s also very versatile. While various melons and berries taste great plain, you can also use them in a variety of dishes.
Here are a few ways to incorporate fruit into your menu:
1. Drinks
Fruit infused water makes the perfect addition to beverages on your menu, whether they’re alcoholic or non-alcoholic. For something very simple, just slice up some strawberries, lemon and mint and add the ingredients to your water.
You can also make raspberry lemonade or strawberry banana chia smoothies. If you’re looking for a tasty alcoholic beverage to enjoy, try watermelon sangria, mango mojitos, or blackberry Pina Coladas.
2. Salad Toppings
Forget croutons – it’s time to make melon slices your new go-to salad topping. You can slice your cantaloupe into tiny chunks, or you can use a mini melon scooper to make the perfect size for your salads. Pomegranate seeds also made a good crunch and fresh topping in any salad. Similar to nuts they add texture to a salad but also add a juicy taste in each bite.
We recommend tossing in watermelon with salads containing cucumber, feta cheese, and mint.
3. Snacks
Melons goes great with all kinds of snacks. For example, you can make some cantaloupe and honeydew sticks and wrap feta with prosciutto for the perfect appetizing treat!
4. Desserts
Fruit is sweet enough as-is to enjoy as a tasty, healthy dessert. You can also make any fruit pudding or gelato! A fan favorite is Lemon or lime gelato, refreshing and cleansing-as well as sweet!
As you can see, there are many tasty dishes you can add fruit to.
