New twist on an old favourite

I love living in the strawberry-producing capital of Europe in spring...the strawberries and melons are coming on hard and fast now, after a cold start. We have a melon rather like your honeydew, which here is called Galia. I've always enjoyed bits of melon and our lush strawberries mixed together in a cold dessert-salad, but now I have learned a new trick...squeeze a little lime-juice over all. Absolutely lush! The lime isn't as acid as lemon juice and just adds something to the combination of flavours that was lacking. Perfection!

Yum!  Honeydew with slivered fresh mint leaves is my favorite dessert and I can't wait to try it with strawberries and lime juice. 

Strawberries top the pesticide contamination list, so I only buy organic.  It might be a while before organic strawberries are available.  :(
