You just can’t beat a well chilled fruit salad for a warm summer meal. You can add whatever you want, but this is a real good one.

 

Serves 8

• 4 cups Red leaf lettuce
• 4 cups butter lettuce
• 1 large, ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and sliced
• 1 large avocado, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup red, seedless grapes, halved lengthwise
• 1/2 cup chopped, toasted pecans

Gently toss the salad ingredients to combine. Now to make the dressing.

Dressing

• 3 tbsp. lime juice
• 1 tbsp. grated lime peel

Drizzle the dressing over and toss gently to coat. This, is a yummy salad.

Now, may I pour you a glass of wine? Be right back.
