Simple Fruit Salad with Lime & Ginger



For me, the best ending to a big meal is something light and sweet. I adore fruit-based desserts and this simple fruit salad is great on its own or over angel food or pound cake. Is it also the final recipe on May's menu (with links to the previous three recipes below).

Simple Fruit Salad with Lime & Ginger
adapted from Gourmet, serves 6

juice and zest of 2 limes
1/8 c finely grated fresh ginger
4 T agave nectar
1 mango, peeled and cut into 1/2” cubes
1/2 pineapple (2 c), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2” cubes
1 c blueberries (or blackberries)

Combine lime zest, juice, ginger and agave nectar in a small bowl. Stir well. In a large serving bowl, combine mango, pineapple and blueberries. Add syrup and toss. Let sit 20 minutes for juices to combine.
