Title: Summer Melon & Blueberry Salad
Yield: 8

Ingredients

      1    galia; honeydew and
      1    ; charentais melons,
      1    ; cut in half
    1/2    watermelon
    250 g  fresh blueberries; (9oz)
    115 g  icing sugar; (4oz)
      2    fresh limes; juice of
     45 ml waitrose select vodka;
           -(optional) (3tbsp)

Instructions

Scrape the seeds from the melons and using either a melon scoop or a
teaspoon, scoop out rounds of fruit into a large bowl. Remove as many
seeds as possible, if necessary, from the watermelon and cut the flesh
into chunks. Stir in the blueberries.

Sift the icing sugar over the fruit and add the lime juice and vodka, if
using. Turn the fruit after about 10 minutes to mix in the sugar.

Refrigerate for 2 hours and decorate with mint leaves or flowers.

Note: These varieties of melon are also delicious served with slices of
Parma ham or in a salad with prawns, chives and a little mayonnaise.
Alternatively, simply serve the melon on its own.

NOTES : A refreshing summer dessert made with a variety of melons. Fresh
blueberries give an extra burst of flavour and the lime juice adds
fragrance. When a melon is ripe it has a strong sweet scent and
yields slightly at the stem end. Watermelon adds a beautiful deep
pink colour and is available with small edible white seeds at this
time of year. Decorate the salad with mint leaves or edible
flowers, such as nasturtiums, and serve with Waitrose Natural Low
Fat Yogurt.
