I beat the heat with this explosive fruit salad. The flavours were refreshingly FRESH, & the dressing complimented the fruit beautifully. Inspired by entries for Beat the Heat that I saw at Ann @ Redacted Recipes, Nic @ Cherrapeno, & Elle’s @ Elle’s New England Kitchen, I set on a no cook trail this morning. Turned to Epicurious found this great sounding ‘no cook’ affair, with great reviews to match…& put this wonderful salad together.
The zing of lime, the freshness of mint…
