TWO thumbs up for Ellie

I had a rare moment this morning to channel surf. I landed on the Food Network to a show I have not seen before, Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. What I liked about it was how the host, Ellie Krieger, explained all the health benefits of the ingredients she was using in her recipes. Later I found out that this is probably due to the fact that she is a registered dietitian!

One of today's recipes that I would like to try is the:

Radiance Fruit Salad

Salad:

-1/3 cup cantaloupe, cut into 3/4" chunks, about 2 cups

-1 (16oz.) container of strawberries, about 3 cups

-5 medium kiwi's, peeled and cut into 3/4" chunks, about 21/2 cups

Dressing:

-3 tablespoons honey

-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

-1 teaspoon fresh lime zest

-3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Place all of the fruit into a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the honey, lime juice, zest, and mint. Right before serving, pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to combine.
